Alas, I agree not looking great and the news from Spain has hit sentiment in all travel stocks today. Whilst ****tail of drugs may mitigate the most sever effects and could be helpful in the near future I don't think a vaccine will be the solution, at least not in the short to medium term. We need testing before departure and at all stops. I'm in NYCT too and also Dart group as well as Carnival and Saga. I see testing as the solution to the travel share woes. With the likes of Novacyt being able to produce reliable and portable testing, I cannot see why governments are so slow to act. Germany is making free testing available at Airports (as well as subsidising Lufthansa) , although, I'm not sure whether the Germans are testing before boarding cruisers, whilst here we have BA saying it's loosing £20m a day and our Gov just demands more blanket quarantines! Eventually I think they will see sense and then all these stocks will rise. Just got to work through the pain - hoping not to go bust first, of course :)
