Not that even 1 death is ok, but in NYC it was 562 deaths in 24  hours to make the total go over 3,000. Not 3,000 in 24 hours.

Why not carry this to a broader extent.  If you are basing your concerns on the number of people involved every single television broadcast, from QVC to the task force briefings, should also be shut down. Many people are also necessary to air TV series, new or reruns.

 

Unless you are singling out dedicated shopping channels for whatever reason then to be socially responsible all television (and radio and internet) broadcasts should also be shut down.

 

While we're at it how about shutting down internet sales too.  They also require a multitude of people to stay up and running, fulfill orders, etc.

 

As much as we hear about machines taking over, costing jobs and such there are still many people running those operations.  Should they all be shut down?  How long are you willing to go without television, radio and the internet?

@Janey2 3,000???? I did an internet search and can't find the stats you speak of.

 

WHERE are you? I know there have been more than that in the U.S. but 3,000 in one place? Really????

I don’t watch QVC live, just online...but I did watch a show the other day for a few minutes because I didn’t recognize the host..it was Antoinella who I had never seen blonde before. She and the vendor were standing at opposite ends of a long table. Perfect! Social distancing. I was impressed. But then I saw her gradually inch her way toward the other end of the table where the vendor was....was surprised someone didn’t whisper in her ear to move back. NOT criticizing, just an example of how easy it is to forget to keep our distance from others when we are so used to being right next to people.....I would be a major fail as a host right now!

PA is quickly becoming one of the country's hotspots for the virus.  Other tv shows are having their people broadcast remotely.  At this point social distancing isn't good enough.  That's all.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.
