@Annabellethecat66 : my cousin and his family flew last weekend. Said the plane was full but there were very, very few people in the airports. I am guessing that the number of flights has been greatly reduced on all routes.

@queendiva Yes, the airlines will be having layoffs.

Things are realigning. As a nation, we must first work together to stop the coronavirus. Until there is a vaccine we must social distance, wear masks and get our flu shots. Our country will open up once the virus is under control.

I flew last weekend to Denver and back. Both planes were full without an empty seat. They wanted people to check their carry-on luggage. I thought nothing was different except people wearing masks. The airport seemed full like before especially at DIA. The food court, the amount of people etc. The people on the planes packed themselves in like before with no social distancing while boarding and deplaning.
There was no beverage service except in first class. Most people in first class did not get drinks though.
I was surprised the people that seemed laxed were the ticket agents and flight attendants in the airport. One attendant I saw held a water bottle in his hand without his mask and if anyone looked at him, he took a sip.
Two ticket agents had only their mouths covered and not their nose. It was just announced by them that the mask had to cover both mouth and nose and the masks with exhalation valves were not allowed.

if they keep these lock downs in place than , it hampers people getting back to work .Look at the data from Sweden vs Spain . Our Chief Medical advisors said we had to shut down . Spain had a nation wide strict shut down and their economy sunk . Now people are protesting to reopen . Why can't us people who are at high risk take the precautions that we need . just let the less vunerable go back to work and live as before . We cannot make those who are not high risk for the virus become high risk to the ill effects of all these shut downs such as depression, poverty , substance abuse , not to mention millions of children not being educated. This virus is going to be around for a while so we all need to change to deal with it.

@Shelbelle , I think it will be awhile but eventually they will get there. There are a lot of people who have cruises booked for November 1 because that is when the Cruise Line Industry's voluntary no sale order expires. The CDC no sale order expires today but it's my understanding they are going to extend it through next month. It's also my understanding Dr. Redfield wanted it extended through February, 2021 but was overruled.
I belong to several cruising FB groups and people are ready to go and the cruiselines have been working to get protocols in place to get cruising up and running.

@Lipstickdiva Our friends are already booked on a couple cruises. As soon as the ship can go they will be on it. We will not be with them.

It's like dining indoors (NYC allows it beginning today): participating depends upon your personal comfort levels. No one is required to engage in any of these activities.
I have dined indoors in parts of NYS that already allowed it. I never felt distressed and all state protocols were followed.

@proudlyfromNJ , I'm not booking either.
These people in the groups I'm in just keep booking. If they had a May cruise that was canceled, they booked for June. When that was canceled, they booked for July. Then when cruising was shut down through September, they booked for October and on and on and on.

There are a lot of less visual ones too. Vendors at stadiums, school bus drivers....
My last credit card bills were just a fluke with timing, but I had only two grocery and one gas. Not stimulating the economy here. Amazon has now caught up with me, but still..
