There won’t likely be more shut downs but people sure as hell won’t want to travel. They’re less likely to travel now than they were in April / early May according to recent data.
And more worrisome is the economy overall. We’ve shed millions and millions of jobs. Many never to return. And many business travelers aren’t returning either. Some will make a permanent shift away from travel to digital meetings and some with the coin will opt for private travel. No matter what the airline industry will lose business clients.
I’m trying to be hopeful here but even excluding the virus the economic data is just staggering. It’s going to be a long road to recovery.

The only spike is in the total number of tests. Deaths way down and trending as are H rates. Get a grip; your boogeyman is done. Time to makeup something else.
Didn't take you dudes long to drag the china flu into this thread. how about you take it over to the other side so we can keep on topic here.

the travelling public is self-regulating at this point. a lack of leadership at many levels has contributed to this.

Excellent points being shared from both sides of this prediction. All I ask is for folks to reflect on July 4th how they felt the US was doing today and the days ahead. Hopefully we’ll all be surprised by the rebound...perhaps I’ll be sobered by reality. It’s easy to extrapolate one’s local surroundings or choice of news source to the national narrative; from where we call home, things feel like they’re back to normal so it’s hard to grasp that there are still neighborhoods out there that are so fearful. To each their own and do whatever it takes to feel safe.
Remember how you feel this moment about the industry...make a commitment to shatter your way of thinking if you’re proven wrong.
It might be impossible to get to 1,100,000 by the 4th but for some reason I won’t be surprised if we do.
