There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases,” he said in a speech titled “Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration” at Georgetown University Medical Center. He delivered it just days before Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017.” - Dr. Fauci said this in 2017.

We hope that by the time we get into late fall and early winter, we will have in fact a vaccine that we can say that would be safe and effective. One can never guarantee the safety or effectiveness unless you do the trial, but we are cautiously optimistic this will be successful,” Fauci said in prepared remarks.‘ 31 July 2020

Coincidence? Let’s just see how things turn out. If I could bet on it, I say maybe a Christmas present before the end of December. It’s a 50/50 shot.

It makes me absolutely embarrassed as an American to see how badly we botched it, continue to screw it up, and have idiots blame it all on wild conspiracy theories.
wifes uncle just passed away waiting for a heart procedure he needed done. They wouldn’t proceed until the Covid test results came back. Guess what... he died of covid19 (officially). Test came back negative. Just my family factual experience. No conspiracy. So yeah, I think they’re botching it up a bit.

This is just the beginning. Already improving. #NOFURLOUGHS. Told you guys. Relax. Soon you will wish you were not flying so much. This pandemic is seeing its end.

Not sure how plateaued numbers at less than 1/2 the amount yesterday support your narrative...but sure.

As discussed in the TSA numbers thread, we have been unable to exceed 30% of 2019 levels since the "re-open" in May. July 4 weekend was the only time. We have been 25-30% since May.

Sept-Oct-November will be interesting.

Also TSA numbers are an interesting chart but I wish we knew total revenue per leg... plane full of $11 fares is just ridiculous. Hard to make money in the fall quarter with a good economy so this is going to be a mess.

Default Cheap tickets

$11 or $15 fares are super cheap but to get them people need to sign up for the discount den which costs money and gets people locked into flying frontier. I've seen worse strategies...

In fairness, you are only getting the $11 fare if you pay the $60 annual membership.

Yeah, I know they are doing what the can to stimulate revenue but I just meant the revenue environment is horrible and TSA numbers don't mean we turned the corner.
