2020 Summer Bonus Cycle Rumors

Analysts/ Associates at BBs/EBs following a summer bonus cycle: what have you heard about YoY comp? Expecting some impact from COVID, but wondering how drastic it will be given some comp would presumably reflect a strong 2H19. Has any bank announced number yet?

To add another question- shouldn't bonuses be pretty good in theory? A summer bonus should reflect the 2nd half of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, which should all be really strong. Even if the 25% of the bonus that corresponds to march onwards (during covid) were to be 0, shouldn't bonuses be within 25% of a normal year still? I get this is unusual and firms might scale back more, but it just seems unfair given that the vast majority of the bonus period was good times.
