This COVID-19 pandemic is extraordinary and theoretically it could last for another two years if the last SARS type pandemic the A/H1N1 in 1918-20 is any example. What seems to be becoming increasingly apparent is the necessity to open businesses and allow people to work, especially in the USA and Asia, retail business (for example) are making every reasonable effort to keep people and staff safe, sports stadiums are allowing small crowds to enter, this is a gradual process, when done properly events where people normally gather can still take place with limited numbers attending and organised social distancing rules applied. Exhibitors at IFA could showcase there technology in reasonable safety.
