I think it’s because most DV related websites and forums are now focusing on DV2021 winners. But you‘re absolutely right, we should try to be optimistic..Why all people are being pessimistic all of a sudden since DV2021 results? DV2020 and DV2021 are 2 different programs, what happens in DV2021 should not change anything in DV2020
Yes this is what they keep saying, however many countries have very few cases of Coronavirus but still keep the embassies closed. I suspect there is a general rule at the Dos related to when embassies could open then it will depend on the local condition of each countryI tweeted the Department of State yesterday to ask when embassies will be opening again for DV2020 winners. This is the response I got:

Yes but many people are still in the DV2020 program and if most people are talking about DV2021 simply because it just has been started (remember when DV2020 started) and KCC will handle bothI think it’s because most DV related websites and forums are now focusing on DV2021 winners. But you‘re absolutely right, we should try to be optimistic..
I know but I think it’s also understandable that some DV2020 winners are frustrated (even the ones that were super optimistic during the whole time). We were lucky enough to win the lottery but we‘re stuck in this unexpected and helpless situation. Who knows if we‘re ever getting the chance to win again.Yes but many people are still in the DV2020 program and if most people are talking about DV2021 simply because it just has been started (remember when DV2020 started) and KCC will handle both

Yep, June is very important, I hope the EO will not be extended and the embassies resume their workWe cannot lose hope! I am still optimistic that we will hear this month when embassies are re-opening and 2NLs will be sent for remaining months left. We need to keep the faith!!
Yep, if you look at Tunisia, they have only a bit over 1000 cases of corona and less than 50 deaths, the situation is under control and the country opened almost everything but the embassyEven though that many countries claim to have the Covid-19 under some control and open everything , the US department of the states has still to study the situation of each country before giving a go to any embassy to open . As much as I pray for the embassies to reopen and interviews resume ,I think we list understand that the department of state will not just believe whatever other countries say .
I heard about the cancelled rescheduled interviews in Georgia but I didn't know that some of them are still scheduled, that's good to knowIn Georgia interviews scheduled for the first half of June were cancelled. Some interviews are still scheduled for the end of June and 1st of July. I do hope they won't cancel them too. People already took their medical checks.
Are they DV interviews?In my country we had about 18,000 infected and we dropped to around 1000 active cases in one month. Everything is open, almost all restriction have been removed, the infection rate is around 10 new people every day and guess what's still closed? That's right, the embassy. With no signs of opening anytime soon.
Oh, and the embassy staff are all here (there were a few interviews with them during this time)
