It depends on what numbers you are looking at.
If you look at the number of active cases - they actually had a first peak around mid May, went down slightly in June and are now on an exponential upswing (second wave?).
Attachment 11791
But no matter whether you see this as the continuation of the first wave or the second - it is clearly trumpesk! They do know how to party these Americans, don't they? Every day another thousand dead Americans or so. How many died during 9/11?
Back to the subject of this thread ... transpacific travel with US will be a looong time away. The Americans first need to remove the cancer in the white house, then the virus ... and then perhaps we can at some stage talk about travel again. Late 2021 / early 2022?
The online tool for refunds was released today. I excitedly log in to unfortunately find my international flights all have "contact us' next to them. Damn. Back to the drawing board.

Lawyer cops a $30K costs ruling and 1 year ban from AIR.
I don't know the legalities but I just received full refunds for my flights to Europe. I was on AIR from Auckland to HK, and on the way back Shanghai to Auckland. But also the Cathay Pacific flight to Paris and the one back on Air France from paris were included in the refund.
Well done AIR for pulling that one off for me. (well actually Flight Centre, but I guess via AIR). Was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
Credit tool had our credit amount correctly showing. And I'm pleased that booking deadline has been moved out till the end of next year with another 12 months for taking the flight. hopefully things will be a lot better before December 2022. If not I guess a $1,000 flight credit sitting unused will be the least of our problems.......
