You might not have noticed, but although reduced, there are plenty of flights operating in EU & USA right now.


Not sure what your news source is but here in the US, data from airlines and the TSA indicate passenger numbers are presently 4% compared to this time last year.

Flights are outstripping passenger demand because of some outdated and absurd Government regulations that require certain flights to continue regardless of passenger numbers.

These flights will end when the CARES stimulus runs out in October and the industry will be furloughing over one third of pilots in round one. More furloughs will follow and the industry is not making these moves assuming things turn around quickly.

Australia has done very well during these trying times but I would be very careful about dropping your guard and letting this virus take hold in the way it has here in the US or Europe.

The media frenzy will end soon, as public is sick & tired of the hype & some so called expert being dragged out, that no one has ever heard of.


The results of this pandemic have nothing to do with the media. Shutdowns have occurred globally because Governments act based upon prudent expert advice, not media hype.
