As they will own the remaining 77W’s - it wouldn’t surprise me if they do what a lot of airlines do, and the retirement date looms closer, and they keep them going.
Meanwhile in the UK BoJo is saying it's acceptable to have 1000 deaths per week; so you're saying you are happy to have 80 deaths per week? He has said they'll only go back into lockdown when they reach those numbers. The UK had 33000 new infections yesterday, that would equate to well over 2000 here. They have 6900 in hospital, that would be 500 cases in hospital
Then there's the costs associated with running every hospital flat out ($5000 per ICU bed per day) for months. You're happy to support the long-term consequences of 'Long Covid', lots of people on long-term sickness benefit for years, requiring home oxygen support?
As much as you may hate lockdown's, we haven't had 1000's die, our economy is stronger than our competitors and our unemployment is lower than others, and to be fair, we had 176 days living a pretty normal life.
