It is going to be a LONG one now.


Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH tourism?

A number of places, Venice for example, were in the
middle of implementing plans to greatly reduce tourism
because they thought tourists were a pain in the ass.
Unmannered foreign trash mucking up their beautiful
cities.

In a month they will be BEGGING for more tourism.

But do not go to Italy anytime soon. So far it has the highest
rate of C19 deaths. Hard to say whether it is because the
population is so old, or because the medical system is
crap. Maybe a combo.

I wonder how many non-retirees will still have jobs after 14 days of cruise
ship quarantine, plus 14 days of "supervised" quarantine ashore, followed by
14 days of home quarantine? Even if they do make it back to work, their
fellow employees will definitely be keeping their distance.

What will be the next airline to go belly-up?:

We see some of the smaller "discount" carriers already
on the ropes. Nobody wants to be trapped in a metal
tube with a bunch of sick people. There are also fewer
places to go with various levels of international quarrantine
being implemented. The big airlines have enough reserves
and diversification to muddle through, but the little guys
are toast.

Boeing must be freaking out. First all those bad planes
and lost customers, now potential customers cannot
afford and do not need a bunch of new planes. My
guess is that it will be about two years before travel
generates enough profits to warrant new aircraft.
