Thanks for that update.
The short version of the above is that CEDR does accept that the pandemic generally is an exceptional circumstance, but once again the rest of the sentence from the Regulation has to be taken on board. Namely that all reasonable measures need to be taken, if the airline wants to avoid paying compensation with short notice cancellations. And since BA (presumably) flew the next day to SOF, that's a tough bar for BA to meet.
