The world economy has ground to a halt. The travel industry numbers show it. They’re devastating. The Wall Street Journal reported that sixty percent of worldwide airline fleets are grounded, hotel occupancy in the US is down 68 percent, and a 93 percent drop in airline ticket sales for future trips. This is unsurvivable. And with most of the country still under stay-at-home orders, the time is ticking, not just for these businesses, but legions of others. In three-to-four weeks, scores of businesses will close for good. In four-to-six weeks, the butcher’s bill could be higher for American enterprise. Yet, with no vaccine, social distancing is key. These orders were done to curb the spread and prevent our hospitals from being overrun.
