COVID-19: Economic Damages Continue

When airlines are impacted, so are airports.

The Canadian airport in Vancouver permanently laid off 25% of their workers yesterday. It is but one example of the continuing damages being done to our economy and people due to the outcomes of the coronavirus. 

Much more bad economic news will be coming in the days and weeks ahead as the long-term impacts of the economic downturn take their effects on businesses and jobs. The second quarter of 2020 will be one for the record books.
