Summary

And they will get to go home with the amenity kits that are typically handed out to premium cabin travelers.The Airbus A380 typically seats as many as 471 people, but capacity will be slashed in half to comply with social distancing guidelines, Bloomberg reported.Singapore Airlines experienced a record loss of roughly $827 million this spring when the coronavirus brought international air travel to an abrupt halt, and it has been selling home-delivered meals to try to make up for the shortfall.Henry David Thoreau used to make fun of people like us.“Hardly a man takes a half hour’s nap after dinner,” the poet snarked in 1854, “but when he wakes he holds up his head and asks, ‘What’s the news?’ as if the rest of mankind had stood his sentinels.”No disrespect to the bard of Walden Pond, but he didn’t have to live through 1 a.m. tweets from the president of the United States announcing he caught a deadly virus during a global pandemic.“I wake up several times a night in a panic and grab my phone to see the latest,” says Kay Bolden of Shorewood, Ill. “If I accidentally leave my phone inside while I walk the dog or water the garden, I’m a nervous wreck until I can check the news again.”The British government is widely expected to propose new measures Monday to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, after daily new infections surpassed 17,000 Thursday.Many of the new cases have been reported in cities across the north of England, amid government warnings that the situation there is “getting out of control.”Mirroring what is being done in New Zealand and other countries, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is reportedly favoring a tiered and localized system for England, simplifying existing rules and allowing authorities to impose more restrictions when case numbers rise, according to Reuters.“The point of moving to this tiered system is so that in those most highly affected areas, we have got measures in place to control the virus,” said British Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, speaking to Sky News.Details of the plans have not yet been confirmed, but Sky News reported that the highest alert level measures are not expected to be as extensive as the lockdown imposed in the spring. By Friday, his administration was back preparing a roughly $1.8 trillion plan.With the White House now negotiating with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over a broader deal, aid for bus drivers, train operators and flight attendants is again part of a wider conversation about potential financial assistance for millions of unemployed Americans and small businesses ravaged by the nation’s failure to control the pandemic.Lockdowns make poor people “an awful lot poorer” and should not be used as “the primary means of control” for stopping the spread of the coronavirus, David Nabarro, the World Health Organization’s special envoy on covid-19, told reporters as several European nations contemplated imposing new restrictions.“We really do have to learn to coexist with this virus in a way that doesn’t require constant closing down of economies,” Nabarro said in a Thursday interview with SpectatorTV, an offshoot of the British newspaper. Whenever possible, they should be avoided, he said, citing the collapse of the tourism industry on Caribbean and Pacific islands as an example of how lockdowns can worsen global poverty.The White House again pivoted on its approach to stimulus negotiations Sunday, with President Trump’s aides pushing for immediate action on a narrow measure after the administration’s $1.8 trillion proposal was rebuffed by members of both parties.In a letter to Congress sent Sunday, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asked lawmakers to first pass legislation allowing the Trump administration to redirect about $130 billion in unused funding from the Paycheck Protection Program intended for small businesses while negotiations continue on a broader relief effort.The administration’s latest request is unlikely to advance in the House, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has rejected stand-alone legislation in favor of a comprehensive package to address the economic and health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.Delays in getting relief funds to aviation contractors may have resulted in the layoffs and furloughs of more than 16,500 people at 15 companies, according to a report released Friday by a House subcommittee overseeing the federal response to the pandemic.The report by the House select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis sharply criticized the Treasury Department’s handling of the Payroll Support Program, saying that the agency’s process for allocating the $3 billion in funds available for aviation contractors was “slow and protracted” and that officials could have done more to ensure that companies received funding that matched their current workforce.Ultimately, the subcommittee concluded that instead of preserving jobs, the Trump administration’s implementation of the Payroll Support Program “significantly weakened the Program’s impact on job preservation.”Thirteen states, most of them in the West and Midwest, reported record-setting numbers of coronavirus infections over the past week.The 7-day rolling average for new cases — considered a more accurate metric than the number of new cases reported each day — reached new highs in Alaska, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Wisconsin during the week that ended on Sunday, according to data tracked by The Washington Post. Some of the largest jumps occurred in Montana, where the 7-day rolling average for new cases was up 61 percent from the previous week, New Mexico (54 percent) and South Dakota (44 percent.)Indiana, North Dakota, Montana and Nebraska also reported record high numbers of coronavirus-related hospitalizations on Sunday, as did Utah, where the rolling 7-day average of infections was up 18 percent from the previous week.Some states witnessing a surge in cases, such as Wisconsin, have introduced new public health measures in recent weeks.
