One of the articles out there says summertime domestic bookings are down 20 to 40 percent varying on the market.

There’s no evidence to not assume that it will burn out. They don’t know

True. But MERS was a similar Coronavirus and it originated in areas with temperatures well over 100*.

there is no evidence to assume anything

preliminary data indicates it is similar to the flu, and that there is an air quality/pollution, and possibly cigarrette smoker, connection of some sort, for those who died.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was, but again no numbers from the people running the show. Are we down 20% or 40%? Huge spread. 20% is probably manageable with some network tweaking, 40% probably calls for more drastic measures... but who knows what they’re seeing.

aside from the fact that they are having outbreaks in Australia on the Gold Coast and it is literally 80 degrees and summer down there...

For those on the outside waiting

CEO email today, we will continue to hire crew to support growth, but hiring and training will be continually reviewed and adjusted as needed.

Could be a lot more negative, any intake is good intake.
