That cuts two ways. Young people are at low risk for bad outcomes from COVID (see the epidemiology studies on the USS Theodore Roosevelt’s crew or the DOD numbers for active duty and dependent morbidity/mortality). So lacking much in the way of risk, how will you ever get the under 35 crowd to GET vaccinated if it doesn’t improve their situation?

I'm thinking you quoted the wrong person....

I agree that there likely is pent up demand, the problem is where are these people going to go, even if they go somewhere what is there to do when they get there. These lockdowns are not ending anytime soon, certainly not by April.
I think we’ll be lucky to see 50% + consistently through next summer.

Numbers for 12/29/2020 (reported on 12/30/2020)
1,019,347 TSA passthrough
50.7% of same day 2019
+8% change past 7 days to previous 7 days
+3% change compared to same day previous week

Pretty good numbers for a Tuesday, yes, still holiday season travelers, but Tuesdays normally have a sizeable dip from weekend numbers and it was only 92k less than Monday, also the third time we've been >50%. I live in Orlando and the news is reporting Universal Studios hitting maximum <Covid> capacity within an hour after opening for the last week or so (Disney is doing well too, but they have a reservation system that's a different than Universal). I know much of the rest of the country is in lock down, but if Florida, Orlando especially, is any indicator, people want to get out and travel.

To average out the entire winter holiday season, I am tracking 12/18 thru 1/4/21, ie Friday before Christmas thru Monday after
as of today, 12/29 data, 12.4MM v 28.7MM, YOY 43%
2 wk averages -

I LOVE the trend

Halloweed? You stoners turn everything into a drug reference!

J/K. Great numbers. Thanks!

I am sure that’s a typo. He didn’t mean weed. It’s just that when you type with a phone it changes spelling to commonly typed words. He’s probably not really a stoner. .... oh wait. My bad.

Good Catch - I might get random'd and don't need that getting out.
MJ was one of the drug test ladies in PHL - honest - can't make this sh!t up
