You forgot to convert to percent by dividing by 100.  Unfortunately, covid is moving fast so today there are 100.3 million cases. So   (100.3 / 7800) * 100 = 1.3%.  (calculated in millions)

 

thanks.

do what thou whilst with my body.

Wow.  That implies there are 1000 billion people on Earth. 

 

The actual number is 1.3% or 1 in every 80 humans, and rising rapidly.

ok maybe i did the math wrong. my mistake if so. 

99 million divide by 7.5 billion ?

Yeah, shame on Israel for trying to stop nuclear proliferation and protect their country.

iran has been 6 months away from a nuclear bomb for like 15 years now.

Sad to hear you continue to do this to your children!????????????‍♂️

with ron on this one. big whoopie you wait 30 minutes to drop your kids off. you live in a toxic environment where daily the children are exposed to massive amounts of pm2.5. in the long run the children's health will suffer massively. 

keeping the curtains closed is a perfect allegory.

Not me, I took my house off the market and cancelled my plans to retire in Thailand. 

i plan on going home in about a month to put my house on the market. going to ride out the next couple years here until the world starts again in like 2023 or 2024.  

the covid has been a blessing on my house value. everyone is scrambling back home to get their hands on a place just like mine. countryside with land wood lot and well. 1 hour from major city and 20 minutes to town. i am open to offers via TV.

never let a crisis go to waste and all that.

I agree with most of the posters on this thread - the mass tourism that we have seen in the past 5-10 years with cheap airline travel is not going to return quickly.

Not only are a lot of these cheap travel companies going bust, peoples expectations of having such holidays has been changed dramatically by this pandemic.

The first thing that will return will be business travel - meetings and conferences - which will be able to accommodate some of the newer restrictions, but still a lot of this will remain as "virtual" zoom meetings.

The fact is that around 70-75% of travel spend has disappeared in 2020 - and around the same amount of tourism businesses - that means the level of spending is equivalent to 30 years ago (1990) - think back to what Pattaya, Phuket and Samui looked like 30 years ago and that is the level of tourism that will be the starting point for any recovery.

These centers of tourism should not be just thinking about how they can attract the tourists again, they have to think about how they diversify the local economies away from tourism dependency.

 

 

great comment. ????
