Currently numbers are declining but that is mostly because of reporting issues on top of maxed testing capacity. We don't have enough vaccine to booster everyone, and about 16% of eligible people without any vaccination. On top of that, Omikron is much more infectious. Christmas travel brings this virus mutation into every part of Germany. While we are still not having Delta under control. | ||

Germany is up to almost 70% full vaccination rate. | ||

Yes your first statement is likely true. Your 2nd however is not. We know that the 2nd vaccine loses protection after a while (we knew that from Israel a long time ago). So given how late Germany started with booster vaccines, I'd say somewhere between 33% (current booster) and 71% of Germans could be considered "fully" vaccinated, it's tough to say and depends on what you think is when the 2nd vaccine loses good protection from getting sick (I'd say it's somewhere between 3-6 months). From what I know it'll still protect from getting severely ill and getting hospitalized pretty well even then though. And with Omicron getting infected is even easier so having the best possible protection is important - even if it's less dangerous (we will see about how dangerous it really is in the future). | ||

I have a hard time believing that the situation is going to be improved enough by March. After so many Covid waves, I'm starting to lose hope. But if we really do turn the corner by spring, I'm looking forward to heading down to Kassel to watch in person. | ||

Not to say its impossible now, but I think the chance just get smaller for offline global event. Yeah. I think the possibility of stand alone offline events is off for a while. Probably the only achievable thing would be to ask players to spend 2 months in a single country and set up multiple events - but that doesn't work with the way sc2 is as a competition. PUBG just had a really successful offline 3-week championship event in Korea (with 2 week quarantine) but it was a set 32 teams for the whole thing and, of course, PUBG still has money to support that sort of logistical cost. | ||

So July 21-24th is HSC21 and Dec 15-18th is HSC22? I guess there will be no Stay@HSC Cup in the meantime? | ||
