many of us in the UK prefer to chart our own course rather than follow diktats
I would hardly call WHO advice a 'diktat'. This is a global pandemic and the idea of 'charting one own's course' is not very helpful.

I wonder why they are not enforcing closure. Seems like a mixed message. Surely enforcing closure would help venues and performers with insurance payouts and the like?

I’d rather take my advice from our CMO - an actual epidemiologist -than someone whose output has previously concentrated on Star Wars and storytelling.
Sorry to be a bit sharp, but there are a lot of instant experts out there whose opinions aren’t helping.
Fair enough. I take your point. We need actual experts now more than ever. But there *is* a lot of expert advice pointing to the need to implement more radical social distancing measures ASAP.
Speaking purely from personal experience as someone who was working in South East Asia when SARS broke out, the 'business as usual' mentality is not helpful or socially responsible.

Well, if it's socially responsible to close theatres, then they will have to close down the London tube network too. I would much rather be in a crowded theatre than rammed almost nose-to-nose with people every morning and evening.
So would I. Hence recommendations to work from home and avoid crowded areas. Social distancing has been proven to help flatten the curve, and closing theatres, cinemas, gyms and so on is an important part of that.

So when is the ROH going to do the socially responsible thing and follow suit with closure?
(I know that this may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel that the UK is being extraordinarily complacent right now. See this link for the crucial distinction between 'true' and 'official' cases: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca)

Maybe someone has a dog bark as a ringtone?
It sounded quite real and distinct! I also saw someone with a dog in the foyer (and it didn't look like a 'working' dog) so I am wondering...
(The repeated text alerts/ringtones during tonight's performance is perhaps best left for the audience behaviour thread)

Was I hallucinating, or did a dog bark in the amphi tonight during The Cellist?
