At the close of bell, the Dow falls more than 700 points and as editor writing this article an eerie feeling overwhelms oneself. For February 2020 we wrote a similar line about the markets dropping in fear of coronavirus. We are not out of the woods by a moderate amount. Airlines and global economy will stall out a little. We are not going far back as in the past but there is going to be a quell in airline traffic numbers of recent.

International markets around the globe keep changing policies whereas airlines constantly find themselves playing catch up at call centers with the cancellations after a buzz of reservations. European airlines like EasyJet are among many that feel these changes make it harder every day.

Canadian airlines industry has been one of the hardest hit by strict enforcement of rules and regulations. One has to think hard if expanding with those in light of recent announcements. From Porter Airlines to US carrier like Avelo Airlines and many others take the advice to monitor. Other industries will be affected from Hotels to those like bars and restaurants as the tourism in the markets will be affected slightly.

We all need to take a moment not to panic but to vaccinate if you have not already. Move onwards still with caution and cover up when needed. As of recent both Los Angeles County and the city of Las Vegas recently requested for mask mandate inside. Even Austin Texas stating they are requesting a mask mandate for indoor venues like stores or other.

The markets were jittery today with all that is hitting the news, media and spreading of the Delta variant of coronavirus. Even others as this editor knows of are now throwing more caution in cancelling upcoming trips or meetings in fear of even if they are vaccinated or not.
