ESTIMATES OF TIME FOR RECOVERY OF GLOBAL TRAFFIC FROM COVID-19 CRISIS
CONCLUSION Worst crisis ever. The Impact of this crisis will stay with us for a long time. Yet things can be better by: - Recognizing that spread of infection is 97.1% locally, 2.9% were inbound travelers, and 0.0000004% of transmission of the virus happened on aircraft including prior to mask mandates. We must adapt to the new normal. - Quarantine for inbound travelers has no added value. - Haphazard arbitrary travel restrictions do not help. If governments are waiting for the complete disappearance of the virus, or vaccination, or for the world to be inoculated, by that time there will be no Airlines, Hotels, Restaurants, Travels and hundreds of millions of people without jobs.
