With masks and with this pandemic, people are not going to go into the cinema in vast numbers and rightly so. I am not setting foot in one or even a bar, pub, restaurant, gig etc. until this fucking pandemic is over.
Its a risky environment and i worry even going to the cinema may lead to a spread of the virus.
This unfortunately is in the hands of the government to save.
I understand not going into a cinema with a mask on for that long but why not a restaurant or bar where no mask is needed? You can't just write off 7-10 more months off life like that IMO because that is a realistic time frame of the pandemic 'ending' as you say and even then I'm not sure.
Like anything else it's about common sense.
Am I going to go to a restaurant with my girlfriend sometimes? Yes.
Am I going to see friends and family in small numbers if local lockdown is lifted? Yes.
Am I going to hug my 82 year old nan or go near her indoors? No.
Am I going to bend the rules and go to a house party of 30 odd people? No.
Common sense is all we can do now.
