I can't see the 2021 event being 'normal', but hopefully the restrictions won't be too limiting.
I'm not sure the ACO could cope with another year of no income so it might be more likely to be cancelled than the 2020 event was.
I'd not be surprised if they had an early announcement of another push back to September to maximise the chances of being allowed as big a crowd as possible.
I will, of course, be placing a ticket order at the earliest opportunity.

It'll depend on an approved vaccine, but the tests are taking longer than they thought (unless you're Putin or Trump) so we can only hope for Christmas. They then have to make a couple of billion doses, and administer them by June. Not impossible, and very necessary for a whole host of reasons
Listening to some of the boffins on radio 4, it looks like once the info from the trial 3 is all collated and analysed, by J anuary 2021 hopefully, then a mass vaccination will take place, consisting of high risk workers, NHS etc, and some of the general at risk public, prior to the vaccine being available as the flu jabs are. This, they imagine to be at this time next year, if all goes well. it wasn't actually said that next year was another write off, but it wasn't ruled out.
It was interesting tp hrar that the vaccine was in place in February 2020, they were working on SARS at the time so naturally switched over to the SARS- coroavirus 19 virus. The production was in place is April 2020, manufacture takes place in 2000L reactors. one use plastic bags supported in a metal cage. This was fascinating to an ex production chemist, but as can be seen, although the trials can be curtailled somewhat if needs be, it's still a protracted process to get from test tube to arm. One other thought discussed was the, 'what it'. scenario of it not going to plan, and the requirements of having to live with the virus, a possible reality that does not bear thinking of.

No, to right, but remember that covid 19 is a corona virus like the common cold, and as seen in the chinese chappies case, where he recovered from deaths door with C 19, then travelled to europe to re catch it, and it was discovered his second dose was totally different to the initial one. i.e had mutated. lets face it you can catch cold 2 to 3 times in a year, all different strains, which is why we don't have a vaccine for it!!!!!!

Most common colds are caused by a rhinovirus not a coronavirus but it's a very general term that refers to respiratory infections caused by a number of different viruses (which includes some coronaviruses). You couldn't vaccinate for a cold as you'd need to vaccinate for all those viruses, not just one. Add to that the fact that in the vast majority of cases a cold is trivial, it would be pointless spending time and money developing a vaccine that almost no-one would want.
