I could see some form of respiratory or cardiac failure being stretched to C19. But a criminal fatal trauma? No chance. There isn’t a medical examiner who would risk his or her career (and medical license) just to help pad the county’s coffers—especially when the results are going to be scrutinized in a vehicular manslaughter investigation. The prosecutor would be ALL over this, and would have the ME’s balls in a specimen jar.

Let's make it closer to home. Your aircraft is on fire. You don't have a landing clearance. Are you going to wait until clearance is received to put the plane on the deck?
Procedures and principles are great 99 out 100 times. There are always moments where you have to be fluid.

That’s really good news for China. IF the report is accurate, and I am not saying it isn’t that would be great... for China....except we aren’t China.
Getting the virus under control here is what gets the economy moving and us pilots back flying plane loads of passengers again. The stock markets are up, but the economy is not doing great, too many out of work people.
I did find it to be good news that since the Chinese people feel that the virus is under control their domestic market has bounced back as quickly as it has. Just thinking forward to when a vaccine might be available how rapidly we may see similar increases in domestic, and hopefully international travel as well.

If China data is accurate. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
RE: "Domestic travel" - China needs the airplane to get around though. Only Russian and Canada are bigger inhabited countries.

Any delay to 2024 would be from the economic damage we have done to ourselves, not to COVID per se. The worst pandemic in the last hundred years BY FAR was the Spanish Flu pandemic which basically burned itself out in two years.
