I’ve also been surprised at all the aloof offhand comments regarding it’s no worse than a cold etc etc, It was obvious when China took those extreme precautions that this will turn into a bloodbath economically. I think it’s human nature, unless it’s affecting right in your face at the current time we tend to overlook or downplay it. I think you will find there will be pretty much no international flights except for a feeder trickle over the next 90 days at least, and domestic will probably crash by 80-90 % once the full lockdown comes into place. The timing is pretty horrendous though with Winter coming so 5-6 months of a shutdown is not impossible. There is going to be massive global shifts and consolidation in the Airline Industry too.
