Without vaccine it does not really make sense to get into a double or quad or eights cause if there is an infection every thing will come to a full stop and it takes quite a long time till the medics are sure that the hear and lung have not been hit ... Of cause training makes sense but more or less on your own cause everything else can end in a fatal desaster especially as well trained ... I guess in late summer we will see a lot competitions but not in early summer cause everything depends on the vaccine progress. The current infection rates are no longer decreasing still under lockdown and this will not improve i guess people are tired and ignore the rules for so many different reasons. To keep the hospitals in a working condition to make surgeries as usual you need low rates as long as heavily infected covid patients are there ... and then they also need to fight back the amount of infections that is retraceable ... so lighter restrictions will take place but still for a long time. Even if germany would get 10 Mio. vaccine all the sport guys below 30 or 20 would have to wait roughly 5 months - depending on the rate who wants to get the vaccine. Therefore not many competitions cause in case of an outbreak at a competition no one of the organisators wanna be crucified or responsible for anything. Same had happened last year in churches where everybody said the had followed the rules unless someone had died and relatives startet to talk about the truth: too many participants too low distance and so on ... Maybe the selftests might help but it is just a matter of time till the people do not test regulary each 2 nd day or they will not tell that they are positive if they do not feel sick ... from the outside everything will look damn safe but is not. Training is great , but I guess without a pinnacle in this season and you must be able to train for a goal in 2022 cause if there will be no regatta you have to stay motivated.
