At the time, it felt like living with awful knowledge that no one else possessed. In truth, I was only about five days ahead of the curve.
Three weeks earlier, I’d flown to Los Angeles, seen friends, ate in restaurants and went to see a play and thought nothing of it. Now I was at Century San Francisco Centre 9, at a screening of “Bloodshot,” the new Vin Diesel movie, wearing an N95 mask and gloves. Meanwhile everybody else sat bunched together, sharing buckets of popcorn and talking into each other’s faces.

Movie theater screens are lighting up across the Bay Area once again, but don’t expect a Hollywood ending just yet. The cinematic atmosphere in the Bay Area is more like a David Lynch film: strange, surreal and disjointed.
On the plus side, major theater chains AMC Theatres and Cinemark have reopened, as Alameda and Solano counties this week joined San Francisco, Santa Clara, Marin, San Mateo and Napa counties in advancing to the second-most-restrictive category of California’s reopening blueprint, from purple (widespread) to red (substantial). Alameda and Sonoma counties remain in the purple tier.
