Here's why people won't travel.
WA state is currently under "shelter in place orders."
Unless you're an "essential business".
Is your business "essential"? Well, just check in with the state governor page...(if you're not on it, don't worry, you can apply for a variance, because the government is still open!. Might take a few weeks though, unless your business trades on the NYSE, in which case, we're sorry we missed you on the "essential" list the first time.)
But that's just
PHASE ONE! ...plenty of rules to follow, but we're just getting started!
Yes, once your county reports less than 10 cases per 100,000 persons over a 14 day span...you can apply for...
PHASE TWO!
This means lots of pages of new regulations to be in compliance with, for severely restricted business opening. Not open enough to do anything except lose money, of course.
(You'll be taxed though, you can be sure of that).
PHASE THREE (more of same)
PHASE FOUR (It don't matter, because now you're in Mad Max Ville, but with RULES. Lots and lots of rules.)
See a rule breaker out there?
Well, the state government page has a very helpful form where you can autonomously TURN IN YOUR NEIGHBORS for suspected rule violations! You're a HERO.
Etc...Who on earth would want to travel to Washington State like this? Seriously. It not just that everything is closed; you're likely to be pulled over by the police just for driving/walking down the road/sidewalk.
Airline demand to markets like LAX, NYC, SEA are TOAST until all this goes away.
