The really sad part is the needless panic due to Covid19. Economies wrecked, lives ruined, jobs lost etc etc all because of the headless chickens on social media and the political class pandering to it.

Its the flu for God’s sake, albeit with a slightly higher mortality rate among those over 80.

China has long been the epicentre of respiratory illnesses, I cannot recall even once when I didn’t get sick after flying as a passenger on a domestic Chinese airline.

The problem for us in the Southern Hemisphere is that the worst is yet to come as the winter approaches.

My fingers are firmly crossed that Virgin will survive and there will be no job losses. A government bailout may be a good idea.
