I guess because of COVID-19, Halloween will be cancelled this year, am I right? It’s what I heard.

Heard from who? I've heard of people still doing things for Halloween. I don't think there is a central authority who decides whether or not Halloween is canceled. I've heard of people planning to leave candy on a bench at the end of their driveway for kids to pick up while trick-or-treating.

Well because up here in Canada, COVID-19 is still rampant at the moment. Even Thanksgiving was limited to immediate family only no extras were allowed to be invited.

Same in the US. I'm sure many people will try to be careful and safe this Halloween. I haven't heard it's canceled, just recommendations on being safer (similar to family gatherings for Thanksgiving there, etc.).

Definitely no parties for sure. That is guaranteed.

You don't actually believe that, do you?

Actually, that could depend on where in the world you're talking
about. Right now, the number of visitors allowed in a private
house here is very limited (5 I think - haven't really taken much
notice, because we don't have many visitors). Down in Melbourne
the restrictions are even more severe. What that means for
Halloween is a little uncertain though, because there is a
possibility of some change in restrictions between now and
Halloween. However, there is more scope for small outdoor
gatherings.
Interestingly when asked about this, our state Premier didn't
know what Halloween was, which I was a bit surprised at, because
most people in Australia know what Halloween is, even if they
don't observe it.
I do foresee some easing of restrictions - partly because it's
needed on economic and mental health concerns, and partly because
the contact tracing systems are now finally getting to the level
they can rapidly respond to and contain outbreaks, even while a significant number of people are moving around, going about their
daily business.

Yep, OK, I hadn't taken that aspect into account. Where I am (southeastern USA), there aren't many restrictions, and I can
promise you there will be (large) Halloween parties going on. Not
that I'll be attending any, as I quit caring about Halloween at
about the age of 12.
That's good news. Be careful out there.
Fifty years ago, when we lived in Florida...my Dad would send my
brother and I out for candy in the neighborhood. This was LONG BEFORE
you had to worry about these idiots tampering with the candy, lacing
them with toxic drugs, razor blades, etc.
We'd canvas the neighboorhood, and bring home bags full of candy.
He would sort through what we brought home, and set aside what he
wanted to himself. What he didn't want, he gave to our Mom to give
out to the rest of the kids...and send us back out to get more candy.

For the most part, the "tampering" of candy is/was FUD spread by the
candy industry to push commercially made candy over homemade.
Yeah, why eat an APPLE that someone gave you for Halloween when you
could have a "FUN SIZED" candy bar instead?

My parents were anti-candy so they would always hand out individually wrapped (factory sealed) bags of Planters peanuts that they bought from Price Club. Imagine handing out peanuts to kids today.... you'd have to include an EpiPen.

A proper upbringing would be one thing.
Well Happy Halloween this Saturday anyways guys. Hope you have a great time partying.
