Thread: Contingency Planning - Return to the days of old?

    I don’t think EAA is going to be calling the shots on whether or not Oshkosh is canceled. I would expect there to be an order from the Wisconsin governor limiting groups of certain sizes once the restrictions start to ease.

    I'm no kind of world renowned epidemiologist -a trained 4th generation Funeral Director/Embalmer? Yes, in truth I am, but no pandemic genius. In my feeble attempts to compare AirVenture to other International type events, meaning vast crowds of visitors from all over the globe, I cannot help but note the result of my 10 second Googling effort just now :

    Originally scheduled to take place JULY 24 - August 9, 2020 the Summer Olympic Games have been rescheduled due to the SARS CoV2 pandemic a year later to July 23 - August 8, 2021.

    Just sayin'.

    Been saying the same thing on another thread.

    There is a small town outside of Albany GA that just got hammered due to two funerals conducted by the same minister before the social distancing policies got implemented

    Even if approved, the caveats would probably force EAA into some serious changes. Could they react fast enough to comply?

    The rural areas of Wisconsin are relatively unaffected but they still want folks traveling to their cabins to shelter for two weeks upon arrival. I am sure the governor doesn’t want to generate a second wave by permitting a large gathering that has such a wide draw. It would be irresponsible and political suicide. Don’t see any silver bullet coming in time to save AirVenture.

    But part of the reason the Olympics were postponed was because the restrictions, even if removed by the scheduled date of the event, affected the athletes' ability to prepare and affected nations' preliminary contests used to select who represents their countries. Not really a factor, here.

    However, as another participant here mentioned, making the decision in May is impossible without a clairvoyant or a time machine. Even an O-320-powered Ouija board won't tell you what the actual restrictions are going to be in Wisconsin in late July. An early cancellation would hurt, but a late cancellation would hurt far worse.

    I have noted before that MY Oshkosh plans are 100% fluid and can turn on a dime up to about 72 hours before. For me an easy few hour drive North through the Cheddar Curtain checkpoint puts me at the motel for my 9 day stay. Plus, through booking.com I can cancel that room penalty free with very little advance notice to the motel.

    But I'm not one of the many thousands who have to book non-refundable travel from half-way across the globe or from the lands just East of the Atlantic Ocean.

    Just to clarify:

    On March 18, the Tokyo Olympic Committee said it need another 4 weeks to make a go or no go decision.

    The Tokyo Olympics 2020 were cancelled and rescheduled to July, 2021 because on March 22 the Canadian Olympic Team became the very first country to say it was cancelling its participation because of COVID19 health risks if the 2020 games went ahead. Many other big team countries including Australia soon followed suit with a hell no, we won't go. Two days later on March 24, the Japan Olympic Committee, Japan's PM and the IOC cancelled the games saying they would reschedule to July, 2021.

    Interesting update to all of this. Yesterday, Tokyo Olympics CEO Toshiro Muto said there is "...no guarantee the Games will go ahead in 2021. I don't think anyone would be able to say if it's possible to get the pandemic under control by next July or not."

    But you do so obviously appreciate the COVID19 montra: Better to be 6 feet apart than 6 feet under!
