Still waiting to see the relative time lines of herd immunity vs. appearance of new strains, Same here.

A fully masked four day show doesn't sound like much fun. If I do go to a show, it'll much more likely be domestic - RMAF or AXPONA. Too soon for Europe. Not this year. My Audio Setup Link to comment

Is it rational to think that a domestic show is safer or better? To those in Munich, it's a domestic show :~) It’s not so much the show, it’s the overseas travel, and possibility of being stranded or getting sick far away from home. My Audio Setup Link to comment
Popular Post austinpop Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 It depends on what the question is. If it is "would you go if HE 2021 were held today?" then my, and probably a large majority of people's, answer is "absolutely not!" But we are talking about what the situation could be in Sep/Oct, when HE, RMAF, and AXPONA are scheduled. We are all hoping and expecting that the downward trends continue to the point where in Sep/Oct, the prevalence of infections is low enough that attendance becomes viable. Also, a lot more will be known by then about the true risks still remaining to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Exactly what the metrics/thresholds are for each of us to decide to go is a very personal decision, based on our values, risk profiles, vaccinated status, etc. However, let's not minimize the fact that any event like this, that draws attendees from around the globe, has at least the potential to be a super-spreader event. fheller and The Computer Audiophile 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment
Popular Post austinpop Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 Even though I'm fully vaccinated, I have no intention of attending large gatherings — with attendees flying in from all over the world! — until the global situation looks a lot better than it currently does. So I think it was prudent of High-End Munich to postpone. DuckToller, The Computer Audiophile, christopher3393 and 1 other 4 My Audio Setup Link to comment
