Drought and mountain disasters have had a huge impact on the farm fair (Daily Telegraph)
However, this year`s Royal Agricultural Exhibition has become increasingly uncertain. In fact, since last year, this agricultural exhibition has been hit again and again. Australia experienced a century-old drought, followed by the world-shaking fires in new states. Earlier this year, the royal society of agriculture (The Royal Agricultural Society), the sponsor of the agricultural exhibition, said many of the activities at the agricultural exhibition could be seriously affected. Agricultural exhibitions in more than a dozen areas, such as Xinzhou Kiama、Lithgow、Cobargo, will be cancelled, many of which have been held for more than 70 years.
Goods on Australian supermarket shelves were snapped up
To add insult to injury was the outbreak of a new type of coronavirus earlier this year. At the beginning, four confirmed cases of neopneumonia had emerged in xinzhou, where people had snapped up masks and even avoided going to public places. Many restaurants had been hit and some had to close their doors. But as the patients left the hospital, it seemed as if everything was getting better. In recent times, however, the number of diagnoses in the new state has suddenly surged from four to more than 20, with two death cases occurring across australia. Many australians have re-entered panic, and better than ever, in addition to buying hand sanitizers, masks and even starting to hoard toilet paper, pasta and canned food in supermarkets have been snapped up.

The Royal Agricultural Fair has been suspended only three times for more than a century (Daily Telegraph)
Since 1869, the Royal Agricultural Fair has been suspended three times, in 1919,1942 and 1946, the latter two of which have been affected by the Second World War, and the latter in 1919 by the pandemic flu that shocked the world. At the time, influenza A (H1N1) broke out worldwide, with 500 million people infected and tens of millions dead, making it one of the worst epidemics of the past century or so. During the pre-101 pandemic, australians closed their borders, forced people to wear masks and banned crowds in public places, a series of tough rules also slowed the spread of the virus in australia, and the death rate was lower than in many countries around the world. Today,101 years later, australia faces yet another round of global challenges of real disease. Despite the official indication that the event remains the same, it is believed that all are still filled with concerns and doubts.
At present, even the future of Tokyo Olympic Games is full of unknown. The questions to be answered by the Royal Society of Agriculture are far from simple. If the activity is cancelled, how should the economic losses be borne, how should many people make up for a year of hard preparation; if the activity is the same, how many people will risk going, and if someone is infected with the virus how to deal with it? At this moment, the Royal Sydney Farmers Fair is probably facing one of the most difficult challenges in history.
