“I am seeing a trend now starting to pick up ... We can Zoom or Microsoft meetings but nothing beats the face to face,” said Jo Sully, regional general manager Asia-Pacific at American Express Global Business Travel. New Zealand, which emerged from lockdown in May, is already back to half of last year’s domestic booking levels, said Jamie Pherous, managing director of Brisbane-based Corporate Travel Management Ltd .

Chinese domestic bookings are around 60% of pre-pandemic levels and some European markets have begun to pick up as border restrictions there ease, said Chris Galanty, the London-based global chief executive of Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd’s corporate divisions.

And after a week of nightmare headlines about Florida, and about 70,000 new cases (aka positive tests), hospitals have a grand total of 130 more patients (~2.5%) in ICU beds statewide than last Sunday. Can’t make it up. 45 deaths today, in a state with 20 million people.
