Several airlines have reduced flight schedules by 96% and are sending planes to Arizona and New Mexico for mothball. Whatever portion of air travel returns, it is going to be expensive and limited.

Look I’m not trying to belittle the participants or their abilities. But let’s not make it something it’s not. It’s a temporary internship, just like anyone else on the college program. Certainly it’s more advanced and requires slightly different qualifications. And it can lead to bigger and better things. But it’s a temporary paid internship with no guarantee of a lasting position with the company.

These are the things that concern me about the numbers.
www.wral.com
North Carolina, seems to be doing a good job in testing everyone as soon as a positive appears in a community. But new hotspots are not a good thing.
In New Jersey, the reports are that care facilities can't test their residents and staff because hospitals are being prioritized for testing.
Texas and Florida have come under fire for not being more transparent about the cases at care facilities. I found for FL, DeSantis said his administration is prioritizing testing people in nursing homes but is hindered by the overall short supply of testing. A Pensacola article from yesterday says FL cases in nursing homes has quadrupled over the last week. We've had a facility in Boston lie about the extent of their cases, the facility in California where the staff just stopped showing up, different reporting standards if someone dies in a hospital vs the care facility. Here in Colorado, on March 31 we had outbreaks in 16 care facilities, as of yesterday it was 48. Googling finds many articles about the same sort of numbers rising in other states.
All of this makes me very uneasy. While perhaps there are positives to be found, within the overall general population, due to successful social distancing, I remain concerned that we are setting up a game of whack-a-mole. Staff at these facilities don't have proper PPE, they are infecting each other. We're talking about loosening up restrictions, so that would reopen the door for infecting family and friends, and then it's off again, and then what do we do? Nothing good will come from playing whack-a-mole.
Nursing homes becoming 'hotspot' for coronavirus with multiple cases at several new NC sites
The upswing of coronavirus cases at nursing homes in the state continues to be a big problem with two new locations reporting multiple cases on Wednesday.

An unseen crisis: Coronavirus deaths mount at NJ nursing homes as virus spreads, staff dwindles
New Jersey’s nursing homes crisis is fueling the spread of coronavirus and flooding already overloaded hospitals with even more patients.

For a few weeks now anyone flying into Australia is forced to stay in hotels for 14 days. As soon as you get off plane you are put on bus to the hotel. You are then confined to your room for the full 14 days. So far it looks like all hotel and food is free. Only thing besides boredom and food complaints I've heard about is cost of laundry which they have to pay for
Edit only people able to fly into Australia for about a month have been citizens
That's true but regardless of whether it is a temporary salaried position or a tenured salaried position, a lay off is a lay off, it's cut and dry.

"Many people are experiencing hardship due to the efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. That emerging trend is prompting Nationwide to offer a one-time premium refund of $50 per policy for personal auto policies active as of March 31, 2020."
"The refund is equivalent to an average savings of 15 percent for two months and is on top of existing discounts customers already earn."

If we're all talking about a particular date in either November or January, I'll respectfully disagree. The blame game will be going on for years, if not decades.
International travel impacted would be a direct hit on many fronts in the USA. International tourists vacation here ( NYC, Miami, California, Orlando as some examples ), spend and support the luxury high end stores, Las Vegas, conventions in major cities, dining, and buy second/third homes and overall support the U.S. economy to include small business, attend colleges and universities while living here different parts of the year.

I think it will intensify after those dates, as well. Not being in power is freeing in some regards, winning re-election is freeing in other regards. Both scenarios end up with lips being looser than they were during the election cycle.

Im not saying you can’t call if a lay-off. But if you do, you have to say the same thing about all of the CP’s that were sent back too.
Also for the most part Disney professional internships are not salaried. They are hourly. Just paid more than regular CP’s and with fancier titles and better networking.

What has been going up 8% annually? Maybe you could point to education and health care (and possibly a few others), but core inflation has been incredibly tame over the past decade in comparison to post WWII America.

U.S. Inflation Rate by Year
The U.S. inflation rate by year is the percentage change in prices from one year to the next. It responds to business cycle phases and interest rates.

I keep seeing people yelling doomsday for the movie theater industry because AMC and Regal could go bankrupt while their theaters are still shuttered.
News flash, people: the industry is bigger than AMC and Regal. It can survive without them. AMC and Regal were mismanaged garbage dumps even before the crisis. Much of their issues are entirely of their own making. If they had made smarter investment decisions (and paid attention to their debt) they wouldn't be in this mess.
