There’s no return to normal until a vaccine is available or the virus miraculously fading away.

I’m sure you and many others have claimed this is all hysterics since the start - all while the situation became exponentially worse. What’s hysterical is the desire to constantly lie to yourself to cope with reality. In January this was ignored. In February it was just a minor disruption of Asia travel. In March it was just going to be a tough 2-3 months. Now in mid-April, according to Kirby, demand is expected to be suppressed for the full year. The likelihood of this quickly turning around is fast diminishing. I can’t see the future, but I can understand the present.
