The good news, is we have a few friends who are consultants at the big4, and they do expect to start traveling in 2H. There are going to be a lot of restructures to advise!
I think the real thing we should be tracking now is the number of vaccines administered - anything to get case quantity out of the news cycle.
It is 25% of last year (compared to the same day of the week a year ago). So when compared to a similar period a year ago whether it is a busy travel holiday or not is irrelevant. Decrease in business travel has been known for a while now. The 25% is bad news no matter which way you look at it.
