neither of us can predict anything for sure. but as I said before, I really am optimistic for next summer.
we are now a bit over half a year into the pandemic here in europe. lots of people have gotten used to wear a mask. in switzerland they have been doing parties that so far have not resulted in being super spreader events.
as everyone can see the entire industry has accepted there won't be any parties in winter. cases are going up in almost all european countries and with that, deaths too - but it's also true that the death rate is nowhere as high as was in the first wave. but the industry is aware that at least in the coming few months, no parties will be possible.
for spring 2021 though, another half a year away, I do predict things will look differently. one, all going well, at least one of the vaccines should be OK and thus the health care personell and the vulnerable will start to get vaccinated and with that the focus will change greatly. two, in various european countries cultural events (theatre for example) are reopening now, indoor nota bene. if in a few months it's proven that these events are safe by wearing a mask, I truly don't see why slowly and steadily also music and clubbing couldn't come back, especially when we are going into the open air season again. three, I predict the health care sector making progress in therapeutics too over the winter (not vaccines, but ways to treat covid) and with that, at some point, the 'risk' will decrease to a point where the goverments will simply have to let the economy thrive again.
and the main point is: IF things go well and by springtime next year parties are possible again, the island should be better ready for it with planned and long announced events. truly, doing nothing and simply waiting for it to be over won't help - the industry simply needs to plan ahead! which is why we will support all official events.
announcement season starts next week.
