I'm actually hopeful for the next few months.
Likewise, unemployment rates will start to drop as the $600 payment bonus ends forcing a lot of people electing to sit unemployed to go back to work - which a lot of businesses are ready for them to do so. We will also see states begin to reopen more and more, you can see the change in public sentiment just looking out the window of your own home, folks when this first happened were too scared to leave the house. Now the state governments cant even keep them off hiking trails, beaches, streets and the like if they try.
Just watching the news, CA basically has accepted the fact they couldn't stay closed any longer and had their hand forced to reopen due to the people saying enough is enough and defying sit home orders.
Travel will continue to pick up in a fairly constant upwards trend is my thought. Delta and AA are planning to increase their international network from May/June onwards and SW has even launched a summer sale to encourage those with the itch to travel to get out of town, let's hope everyone is ready for a nice vacation.
