The well covered prediction is that COVID-19 will be making its return in the fall. It will be stronger, there obviously is no vaccination in sight, and it will be everywhere. The less talked about news is that summer has little or no effect on this bug. Witness Australia and Argentina, both closed, both summer.
The Javits Center is a hospital now, right? So, even if it is no longer needed in this role, and let's hope it is not, how long does it take to completely disinfect and re-repurpose a facility of that size?
The only sensible move is for ALL of these shows to cancel for 2020. The idea of packing them all into a short space of time is even more stupid than calling the virus a hoax, and who would do that? The idea that hoards of people are going to want to travel to a crowded conference hall this year is equally nuts, though the face mask sponsorship opportunity would be huge.
Why not combine all of the shows into one gigantic Zoom call? And wouldn't it be perfect if it were sponsored by Hikua?
