Italy's figures are getting worse.

Quite a few countries banning UK nationals for the time being.

Hearing that BA are under severe financial pressure.

This is one big clusterfuck for the world.

I was told in my local supermarket yesterday morning that they hadn't had any hand sanitizer in stock or delivered now for over a week.

I also had an email from Ebay saying sellers selling items like sanitizer found to be well over the normal selling price would be severely reprimanded, so I went to have a look and found many tiny bottles of 49p Aldi hand sanitizer up for sale at £24.00

Europe is closing ranks.

Poland stopping UK nationals.
Flights to Canary Islands not being allowed to take off today.

The worst is yet to come....

Mass redundancies & even bankruptcies in the Airline industry alone are going to be off the chart.

The whole travel/tourism industry is gonna fall apart at this rate.

Airlines
Tour Operators
Agencies
Hotels
Airports

Which will then trickle down to the local businesses across Europe that rely on the tourism cash.

The travel industry as we know it has probably changed forever in these last 2 weeks.

Add the Cruise Liner business to that list.

Don't know how I missed them off, probably gonna be the most immediately impacted of the lot. Pretty much all major cruise lines have suspended operations for at least a month.

We have some clients on a round the world voyage at the moment, left UK early January and not due back until early May.
The cruise operator, Cruise & Maritime, yesterday announced cancellations across their entire fleet and all ships to return to their home docks in UK/Germany. All impacted customers to receive a full refund.
So our couple, who are probably somewhere over towards Australia at present, will be due a refund of £26,000 on their return, and essentially will have had a 10 week cruise for free.

There are not gonna be many winners in all this mess, but I think they will view that as a result.

Yes, the Cruise industry is in for a real bad time, but I fancy the Airlines will be even harder hit.

Delta Airlines alone have grounded 300 jets. Three hundred. And overnight, since they announced that, more countries announced travel bans.

Read an interesting piece earlier alluding to the fact that if this had happened pre the digital age.

Some people would have coughs and colds, some old people would have died of respiratory or other illnesses. No-one would know it was happening, life would go on, economies wouldn't be trashed.
