BREAKING: “The number of deaths resulting from Eurovision 2020 being cancelled is widely expected to exceed that of deaths caused by Coronavirus”

I've already started the script for my made-for-TV movie about the atrocity.

Eurovision: The Day The Mincing Stopped. When rejected Euro-hopeful Erika Vikman (Charlize Theron) releases a deadly virus in the streets of Rotterdam, it's up to local Eurovision scientist @Kevin (Ruud Gullit) to keep the contest alive in the face of a devastating 0.05% death rate. Also starring John Lithgow as Jon Ola Sand, Rik Waller as James Newman, and Barbara Knox as Zu Klara.

I've tried not to sensationalise the subject matter too much, as you can see.
 
I think a behind closed doors contest would be better if (say) they'd allow all entrants to travel but then wait in quarantine for two weeks before being allowed out in Rotterdam.

It would be a fantastic show of togetherness and a beacon of hope across Europe just as the depression is truly setting in.

Darling it’s so easy for you to say with your silly Coil collection. Eurovision is the one stop shop for true music lovers and we’d all rather DROP DOWN DEAD than be witness to a horror so unimaginable! :shock:

Think of it as the gay equivalent of waiting for the second Stone Roses album.

Obviously my understanding of how these things work is minimal, but if it’s now a pandemic, what would be the benefit of the bit in bold when people are now surely just as likely to catch the virus from someone in their own country as from someone travelling in from elsewhere?

I do agree on the second bit though - I’m sure they’ll be doing everything they can to put the show on in some shape or form in May, acutely aware that viewing figures are likely to be through the ROOF.
 
Just quarantine (yes INCLUDING SATELLITES) any country with a ballad, have a small but much more fun 2020 contest, then cancel it forever before we all die :shock:
 
Honestly the thought of having to wait until December 2021 before hearing the next fresh Albanian Eurovision entry is making me want to end it all right now
 
Calm down everyone @VoR SAID he just can't see the contest not happening at all. It WILL happen one way or another. There's just NO other way.

As much as I'm enjoying this proof that gay panic is both real and incurable, I feel like I should try to defuse things by pointing out the obvious solution.

The Netherlands should just copy the Swedish approach to the letter: Wait until after they've held their largest and most lucrative public gathering of the year, and then immediately ban public gatherings. Job done.

I agree. Just PUSH AHEAD as if nothing is going on.

Oh we don’t want THAT! We want LIVE INTERNET NIGHT NURSE OVERDOSES and gays who have nothing left to live for burning their blouses, handbags and subscriptions to MALTASONG MAGAZINE in FURIOUS AND UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPERS!

I'm loving it. Here in Madrid things are getting worse everyday, I went to the supermarket early this morning to avoid people, but they were all there already. Empty shelves, it looked like Venezuela.
Football cancelled, schools cancelled, work cancelled, EVERYTHING cancelled... everything except the Eurovision PreParty :D The queen that runs this is the same that went to Eurovision with tuberculosis, and he just said the PreParty is happening unless the Goverment forces to cancel it. :rolleyes: Like if European artists are still coming. I guess he must be calling Coral and other local ESC celebrities as a replacement, because this is happening even if they all die :disco:
 
I’m also wanting incoherent, hysterical 750 word posts written by devastated euroloungers who’ll claim that they didn’t know what they were typing because they just COULDN’T SEE THROUGH THE TEARS :disco:

I'm quite surprised they still didn't come up with the conspiracy theory that coronavirus is a secret Armenian weapon to prevent Azerbaijan winning again with Cleopatra.
 
I just hope even if Eurovision finally happens without live audience and press, VoR can still do rehearsals live blogs from home.
