Agree that QF and NZ are in a pretty good position to weather this, although I think doomsayers suggesting it'll go on for years are over the top. This virus will peak in the next few months and I'd expect things will be back to normal or on their way to normal by Xmas.
Saving the jobs is critical and offering reasonable support to do so... if the government does not do this, it won't matter who's leading the ALP at the next election, it could be George Pell and they'd still get elected if people perceive a national crisis emerged and the LNP did nothing.
What does annoy me is the news that these feeding chooks (with the brains of fleas) on the stock market see travel banned on the Atlantic and immediately QAN and VAH shares drop because of 'fears' by these idiots... neither of these carriers have exposure to that market so once again, the stockmarket is just a giant confidence trick.
