You don’t think someone who was forced to cancel their February vacation wouldn’t take an August vacation once the situation sorted itself out?

Some will, but many won't. There's a fair few frictions in that. Say you couldn't get a refund for whatever reason. Or your boss won't give you the time. Or whatever occasion you went for is passed.

It's not that I'm saying it's all lost, but you have to count on some share being lost.

This won't be sorted by August.

Cool, any data or is that just speculation? Either way I was asking a hypothetical question.

It’s more the other direction. What evidence do we have that this will be sorted by August?

There has been no evidence that Cov-2 is anywhere as heat sensitive as influenza. This isn’t “the flu”. It doesn’t have to conform to flu patterns.

Right now the only countries getting this under control are ones that have started social distancing early and left many measures in place.
