Oh, and if President Trump gets re-elected as well.

Nice little bump after-hours the AAL stock just got over the Moderna news.

I am hopeful for a vaccine, but I wouldn’t count on it flipping things overnight, especially when latest polls show that around 50% of the f-tards in this country say they don’t plan on getting a covid vaccine once available.

When it does become available, Donald Trump, Barrack Obama, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Sean Hannity, Elizabeth Warren, Kim Kardashian, the Queer Eye guys, Chuck Norris, Joel Osteen, the US women’s national soccer team, and whoever the hell else need to all go on live TV, roll their damn sleeves up and get jabbed.

So if you are hoping vaccine approval prior to furlough I got bad news. Moderna doesn’t even start phase 3 until July 27th. It is two shots given once fa month. So September before we can even start collecting data. Now one of the antibody cocktails striking gold could happen and hope it happens.

Cheers.

The middle seat free is a PR stunt. Do you really thing the person sitting in the seat in front or back of you or even the person right across the aisle is 6 ft away? That's kind of like southwest claiming they are the low fare airline. It"s all about PR.
