Look beyond the moat Telfer.

The fact is the world is opening up again, and fast. The huge COVID numbers are not causing deaths, so more enlightened countries have got the ~80% jab and are opening. Some are not counting cases, just hospitalisations. There is no fear of the virus if you are jabbed. That is the future.

I was on a 380 long haul the other day. Lower floor not a spare seat. Business upstairs 1/3 full. People are starting to move in vast numbers. There is a way to go but the swell is building. Airports are getting busy.

QF is paddling out into the swell looking for incoming wave. They can be on the front of it and savour success, or at the back of it and watch others take take glory to shore. It does cost a lot to be in the water though waiting for permission to ride the wave.
