No, it buys more time and allows you to change the schedule, either moving the season forward or backwards.
There is so much money being thrown at this thing, that there are new treatments and detection mechanisms coming out constantly. We know a lot more now than a month ago, and way more than two months ago.
That is why reopening early was so stupid. If we had just followed the Europe mode (which followed the advice of American scientists)l... they are in a situation where they can re-open now, and the detection mechanisms and treatment models are going to be well established by the time the infection rate increases, and they will not need to completely shut things down again.
In Europe, everyone can take their summer vacations and spend their travel dollars right now, keeping the travel industry afloat.
In the US, Boeing is laying off 45% of their workforce, and American is going to follow suit very shortly. We are banned from visiting other countries, ban visitors from certain states, and with all of the outbreaks, nobody is going to spend their travel budget this summer.
Hold the idiots accountable for making these bad decisions.
