Eurobike has today announced it will not be able to run a show in 2020 due to the resurgence of COVID-19.
The trade show was originally scheduled for its usual date in September but was pushed back to the latest possible date on November 24-26. Organisers hoped this would allow them to run a safe show but rising case numbers, returning lockdowns and companies announcing stricter internal travel policies have forced them to cancel for 2020.
| Our comprehensive hygiene and safety concept, as well as the positive number of registrations for the Eurobike Special Edition had given us cause us to be optimistic until very recently. Unfortunately, the latest developments now call for a rethink. It has become extremely unlikely that the situation regarding travel will improve by the end of November. The temporary ban imposed on accommodation also presents an additional obstacle. Accordingly, it is now our duty to act responsibly. It is against this backdrop and with a heavy heart that we have decided to postpone the bike industry get-together at Eurobike in Friedrichshafen until next year.—Klaus Wellmann, CEO Messe Friedrichshafen |
| The success of the Interboot trade fair in September gave us a real boost in discussions surrounding Eurobike. But now, ultimately, there is no alternative other than to call the event off for this year. After numerous participants have recently declared their intention not to attend, the Eurobike Special Edition 2020 can no longer fulfil its assignment of bringing together supply and demand. Our priority is now to set the course for the 2021 event, so as to find the best possible way to bring the industry together in Friedrichshafen and to move it forward. We will be announcing the details in due course."—Stefan Reisinger, Head of Eurobike |
The organisers are now working on arranging an face-to-face show for 2021 with details to be announced soon. Exhibitor fees and tickets will be refunded.

When was that? A huge swath of the US population still hasn't realized it.
Also, you confused COVID with the common cold in your response in a previous post about the Tokyo olympics. Not confidence inspiring. Why would we listen to you here?
Looking forward to your comments about the earth being flat, the moon landings being staged...
Not one symptom. Not one cough. Not one sniffle from January on.
We're not buying it anymore, but you do you.
2. Can we ban anyone who brings up anything remotely QAnon related? The whole (below threshold) section is garbage. I don’t care if a person is joking, that stuff is becoming a real and serious problem here in the states.

1. I disagree. It's OK to disagree, right.........? Or is it?
2. Welcome to the Below Threshold posting area (your post has been deemed to be 'garbage' by the PB community).
The reality is that people is dying more than in any other time if you compare month by month data (That is hard data you can check, not a cospiranoid theory) and this is happening because a virus, and we are trying to stop it.
People with your attitude will only help the virus to spread, and you will be probably fine, you may not even notice you got it, but you will carry on with your selfish attitude until you pass the virus on to someone's mother or father how will get severely ill, otr even die ...
Sure, but you’re also a bell end.
I'm generally not one for name calling, but making light of a pandemic that has literally killed over a million people does, in fact make you a bell end.
It hasn’t ‘literally killed over a million people’. That’s not true. Over a million people have died, with a recent positive test. Totally different.

So, you’re in favour of Americans keeping their guns as protection against tyrannical government? Good, I’m glad.
And at least cancer doesn't spread to others
So maybe cancer kills more at the moment , but its not spreading to others..so the risk is easier to understand.
Whereas covid spread could potentially kill many more if uncontrolled
Let's put it this way: You go out on your bike for a quick spin, and you have a minor crash - nothing serious just a few scratches on your leg, few days later one of them gets infected. Since you tried to solve the infection but did not have any success you go to your doctor. But hey, you don't have covid, and your injury is not dangerous, right? Fast forward, you end up with your whole leg infected....you can see now where this is going.
My point is, there are millions of different situations like the one I explained which can be solved easily - but will be left waiting in favor of covid with perhaps lower % of possible complications.
Covid is not the only contagious disease out there, there are far more deadly things but nobody cares anymore.
You probably have more chance of dying in a car crash every day but you don't even blink.
In the US, car crashes killed 38,000 in 2019

Covid 19 is only second to heart disease and cancer in the US

I'm not advocating mass lockdowns, but moronic denialism will only benefit the virus.
A park ranger at my local trails had it and passed away. It sucks.
Also the death rate data from covid isn't really reliable since it's calculated from confirmed infected cases.
And we all know that there are huge numbers of infected people which don't have any symptoms and thus are not tested and are not calculated in the death rate. That's why you can see a death rate of 0,1% or 25%.
www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/09/covid-19-deaths-global-killers-comparison
"Road traffic accidents still kill more than a million people each year, costing most countries 3% of their GDP and are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged five to 29, says the WHO."
"The Lancet estimated a 7.9 to 9.6% increase in breast cancer deaths up to five years after diagnosis, compared with pre-pandemic figures, while the figure for colorectal cancer was a 15.3-16.6% increase.
The pandemic has also set back progress on eradicating infectious diseases, as it has disrupted immunization programmes in at least 68 countries since March.
Around 80 million children under the age of one are thought to be at greater risk of diseases such as measles."
I got this second hand but there was a case in my country when a doctor asked relatives wether he can put covid as a case of death even though the patient died of something else.
@nfstreet4life I think they might be into inflating the numbers in order to justify the measures.
Every covid patient in hospital takes resources away from other patients. It's not just a bed, it requires being in an ICU with negative pressure air directed out of the building.
Typically covid medical staff are isolated from other patients so they can't work with them.
There are currently 37,000 hospitalized covid cases in the US.

Because the way I see it everyone is just waiting for a vaccine which may never come or it won't be reliable, what then?
Also the deaths and hospitalizations are most of the time (not always) related to some other condition as well.
So you have people that die FROM covid and some that die WITH covid - but all are usually marked FROM covid.
I agree,we can't live like this for ever, but we also can't have the hospital's full to the brim with covid patients again
If Covid is here forever then we have to assume it will impact the world drastically, and eventually move to endemic rolling areas of infection. This article is pretty good:
www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-covid-19-pandemic-could-end1
If you own stock in a Fondue restaurant chain I would suggest selling it if that scenario plays out.
Distinguishing between those that die from Covid vs. with Covid is a fair point as well, but the level of people that have died this year is massively above average. Sure, the lockdowns and changes in behavior account for some deaths, but a LOT more people have died this year, and most of that is attributable to Covid. www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02497-w
We are living through a (hopefully) once in a lifetime public health crisis. It requires action by everyone to stop it from spreading. Actively resisting public health guidance (and being willfully stupid and attending mass gatherings without precautions) will just prolong it for everyone.

Annual mortality rate looks to be in-line or even lower than previous years.
I think you're imagining that everything else stops getting taken care of because of covid but that's not really the case. Hopefully this helps answer your question (sorry if anything's written weird or hard to understand, I'm a terrible writer and I'm tired)
comment A: be more specific.
comment B: literally no clue what you're talking about.
No need. Have a lovely Winter - let's talk again in the Spring and see how things are doing.
It's also not like Sweden did nothing - gatherings are still limited to 50 people and they closed schools for ages 16 and up.
I'm saying this as someone in the US who knows people who had and were fine (tested positive after the fact), people who had it and were in the ICU on ventilators and I knew some people who died from it too.
When people have high child mortality rates, through things like preventable diseases, poor health care and lack of access to medical services they have a lot of children to make sure there is a high likelihood of their families survival.
When there is a low child mortality rate people can have just one or two children, knowing they will probably grow to be adults, who can be happier, healthier, better educated and generally have a higher quality of life, this brings the population's growth rate down.
