Business travel isn't going to come back quickly, and people don't want to spend on leisure travel if there are too many uncertainties or too few options. Taking a Covid test to go to Hawaii or Aruba is too much of a barrier for some people. Now you have to take one to get on a flight back home, and if you test positive... then what?
Ok
Scenario 1 has high vaccination rate. In a few months Covid cases reduce substantially and restrictions begin to lift.
Scenario 2 we continue on our current trajectory of peaks and lulls. Stressed health care facilities in certain areas, politicians using restrictions etc.
Scenario 1 is our way out of it. And we should be hoping for a successful vaccination program. Restrictions get lifted as cases go down. Schools reopen, people start going back to work, people feel ok about being on planes when they’re vaccinated.
