Nationally though, There are some people who have been skating a month and others in the same country who are still quarantined. How do you make that “fair”? I don’t think you can.
I wonder how the skaters feel about that. I'd guess that some, or even many, would just want to get back on the ice in competition in order to get back into competitive form - without worrying as much about results as they would otherwise.
I don’t see them having a huge international event (4CC) right after opening without many precautions, perhaps including a quarantine of visitors.
Also, international events can't be planned unless it is certain that all the necessary borders will be open. And events get planned months in advance, which probably rules out all 2020 international competitions. Possibly even Nationals.
I think the best we can hope for at this point is that Nationals will be held, and a Worlds in 2021. But even Worlds is probably iffy, given the planning time needed.
