Short-term, I don’t foresee the world being eager/able to lift enough covid restrictions to get the aviation industry significantly moving again. Flare ups and re-implementation of restrictions are going to keep things bogged down for a while. The virus isn’t going away, it will spread and freak eve...

Well, we never came close to overflowing ICU’s...because of the lockdowns. Unfortunately, we can’t go back in time and see what would have happened had we done nothing, but it’s very clear that the lockdowns were effective. Maybe we went overboard, maybe not, but we didn’t get to low covid levels in...

Okay, so a few doctors are skeptical, but clearly the vast majority are not. It just takes a few more full or overflowing ICU situations to wake everybody up about the seriousness again. Again, it’s not about the mortality rate. It’s actually about how many sick people the hospitals can handle at on...

You quoted one person, without giving a link to the entire article

Ironically you haven’t quoted any doctor or given any article about such disputes.

"For COVID-19, [transmissibility] is at a two or three. That means one person can give the virus to two or three other people," explains Dr. Chen Liang, an associate professor with McGill University's department of medicine. "For SARS, I believe it is one-point-something. It's quite ...

Why the fu(k would you send samples of extremely dangerous viruses to a lab doing these function gain experiments which are banned in civilized countries? Why would you want to force ebola to mutate into a more dangerous virus? And save "to find a cure" as an answer... a nuke will cure a ...

It seems that the very high transmission rate of this particular virus is going to be a limiting factor in what kind of restrictions we will see lifted, and subsequently what increases we can see in air travel. We also still have to recover from all the economic damage already done.

I'm sure things will be very closely back to February 2020 levels in February 2021. Unless there's some super surge in the fall the scare factor of this thing is diminishing. At a point the desire for the masses to travel is going to overcome their fear of the virus. The crunch month is probably go...

If some of you think you have the solution, then the real trick is isolating the vulnerable throughout the entire pandemic and convincing the less vulnerable that’s it’s safe to walk around. “Don’t get within 6 feet of anyone older in your life and if you do, don’t sneeze, and be prepared to catch C...

Everybody needs to calm down

Oh the public is the worst. Totally entitled. Especially the young crowd. They forget the fact that they are flying in a $300 million state-of-the-art machine at 500mph in the thin upper atmosphere where it’s -50 and impossible to breath, made safe for them using advanced technology and stringent tr...

Maybe consider this.. The planet is the patient, humans are the virus and coronavirus is the vaccine. The federal deficit is estimated now at $186 Billion up from $28 Billion. Provincial and territorial deficits are estimated at $63 Billion combined. Municipalities are running serious deficits. Thi...

I think people saying it’s going to be a quick recovery are ignoring all the CEO’s, economists, and scientists saying it’s going to be a U-shaped recovery. Which means slow. Has anyone reputable expressed any optimism for a V-shaped economic recovery? If anyone has please let us know. Given the tran...

The second wave should be fun.

So we’ve established only people over 60 are vulnerable enough to care about. So let’s just isolate them until there’s a vaccine and the rest of us can go about our business. That’s only a year or two of not being to visit our parents or grandparents. No big deal, right? Gawd...focus will you? Ther...

If not from the media, where do you suppose we get our news? Trump, Rupert Murdoch, or not at all? The big business people and the mafia both love silence. People shit on the media but a lot of it is standard, legitimate reporting, this person said this, this expert said that, here are quotes, stat...

WHAT!!!!!

Would have saved a lot of lives. At least we will be getting herd immunity.

Maybe they'll listen to my plan to save the economy over the long run...we'll see.

You’re really swimming against the current.
