When discussion with the event manager and higher ups about 2021 recently they were planning on attendance and therefore budgets at 2019 levels. I said you will see 1 of 2 things:
1- The Dem run state will enforce mask, cap or other rules that will keep you at between 50%-75% occupancy to make people "feel" comfortable/safe. Masks or similar rules will keep sane people away.
2- No state restrictions, however, Karen will be too scared and hound you over mandating masks, etc. and if you do, sane people won't attend OR you don't Karen won't attend. Again you will probably only get 50-75% of your 19 attendance.
Exactly right

I think you are right and they are wrong. Foolish people think we will go back to 2019 levels. They do not take human emotion into account
