Go to Asia with your family - Part 1

I've been keeping a journal since we left Berlin just over a month ago, on the 3rd of January. It's in my Apple Notes and the plan is to print it out and put it all in the time capsule we are preparing for our younger kid (currently 3 1/2 months) to open on his 18th birthday in the year 2040. Our older daughter was a Corona kid, born in August 2020, and I had a similar journal going during the height of the pandemic that I printed for her to read (maybe?) when she's older. One thing about having second kids is that you only up the ante for yourself if you did cool stuff for the first one.

So far most of the entries are a combination of travel observations and descriptions of what it's like to be in these places with our son and his sister right now. But like - what if he doesn't actually think this is that cool? What if he's not interested in reading what his out-of-touch dad wrote about traveling to Asia almost 20 years ago? Will this travel journal have any relevance to his teenage life at the dawn of the 2040s?

These questions have been gnawing at me with each journal entry I write. Is this really for him, or for me? Since my real anxiety is obviously that no one else will ever read or care about most of these journal entries as much as I do, I've decided to send a few of the ones that I'm proud of into the void so that the internet might provide me with some validation in case the teenage versions of my children can't.

Below is one of my first journal entries, as we were wrapping up a 4 day stopover in Doha. It's not a place we would have thought to visit ordinarily, but with a flight itinerary on Qatar Airways and the amped up experience of going anywhere far away with children, taking a break seemed like a good idea. Being in Qatar right after a controversial World Cup was surreal, but also in some ways illuminating.

Keep reading for a deeper dive.

Doha

Yesterday we took the gleaming Doha metro system up to Lusail, a new development area north of the city based around the stadium where they just had the World Cup Final.  We encountered a sea of new skyscrapers built on an unnecessarily large amount of land, connected by wide empty streets and a massive highway to the rest of Doha.  With more new buildings on the way and mysteriously few people around who might actually occupy, visit, or work in all of this newly conjured urban real estate, Lusail exemplifies so much of what feels strange about this city generally.  Particularly with all of the World Cup signage still up, it has the feel of a place that was purpose-built over the past decade and is now grasping around in search of its next purpose. 

One of the common Western criticisms of the 2022 World Cup (and, by extension, of Doha and of Qatar) is that the atmosphere at the tournament was “artificial”. Insofar as Qatar built most of the infrastructure for the tournament in 12 years essentially from scratch, doubled its population over that time almost entirely with migrant workers, and even imported fans for its national team from elsewhere in the Middle East, that criticism is tempting. But as relevant as it might be to the World Cup itself, zooming out I think it misses the mark. I might describe Doha in other ways - sterile, incongruous, held back by its religious conservatism - but this city and the role it plays at this particular moment in global history is very very real.  

Consider this: there are 2.6 million people in Qatar, just 300,000 of whom are Qataris.  That means there are well over 2 million people in this country, the overwhelming amount from developing parts of South Asia and Africa, nearly all of whom are here because the Gulf offers a level of economic opportunity far enough beyond than what they could find at home that they are willing to give up everything in order to move here and send back money.  Most are men and most come without their families - the demographics of Qatar are so heavily skewed towards male migrant workers that 75% of the current population are men.

Like many world cities, Doha is full of migrants and dreamers - but without any of the romanticism.  From professionals to peasants, it’s a place where people come to get as big a piece as they can of a small desert peninsula’s incredibly lucrative oil and gas hustle.  The economic engine, apart from Qatar’s role in helping the world feed its ongoing addiction to fossil fuels, is the Qatari government’s continuing effort to make Qatar relevant (beyond its natural resources).  That’s what the World Cup was about, it’s what Lusail is about, and it’s what all the other tall buildings and shiny infrastructure are about.  Qatar is not satisfied with just being the rich kid whose family has all the money they could ever need.  It wants recognition.  It wants to tell its story and it wants to matter.  

Whether Doha would be nicer if it were more compact, whether it would be more entertaining if it were less conservative — none of this is actually important.  What is important to the people that choose to come live and work here is that a fabulously wealthy country in Western Asia is spending billions to put itself on the map, and that they need to import 90% of the human capacity required in order to do it.  It doesn’t matter that the result looks and feels a little bit like what would happen if Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia had a baby.  This is simply what Middle Eastern oil money buys in the 21st century.

Doha’s economic magnetism highlights so much of what is contradictory about our times - here is a giant city in a desert climate where it’s literally too hot to go outside in the summer, designed for a far greater number of people than will ever live here, financed by the very thing that is making this part of the world hotter and more uninhabitable every year, built up and managed at a low cost by hiring international workers who are willing to do the job for as little money as possible.  So much of this is so obviously wrong and bizarre but as long as the money keeps flowing, there will be people from less fortunate corners of the world who see places like Doha as their genuine best opportunity.

On our last full day here, a rare rainy day kept us in the hotel until 2pm.  We decided to go for a shorter walk in the afternoon - about 30 minutes from our hotel to a park with a playground.  As we did for most of our journey in Doha, our family of four stood out walking through some of the more local back streets.  A brown woman not wearing a hijab, pushing a stroller next to a white guy wearing a toddler on his back…. in a city without much of a pedestrian culture, this must have looked genuinely strange.  I felt a few eyes on us, though fewer than I was expecting.  

We spent an hour or so at the playground and as darkness fell and the call to prayer rang out throughout the city, the rain started to come again, first as drizzle and then crescendoing with the sounds of the Azzam.  If I were less immediately concerned with the welfare of two small children, it would have been quite a beautiful moment, but with Maya’s clothes getting increasingly soaked and rain starting to seep through into Camino’s stroller, we looked for the first place we could take cover, which happened to be the entrance to the men’s park toilet and prayer room.  

So there we were, our multicultural family of four, looking every bit the part of a Western caricature as we stood with our stroller and toddler backpack with Zara wearing a low cut shirt and stylish green blazer in a hallway crammed entirely with modestly dressed men coming from their evening prayers.  They were dressed like South Asians rather than Qataris or other Arabs - migrants, most likely, as opposed to locals, coming together to pray in the park prayer room.  Aware of how awkward Zara was probably feeling, I held Maya and tried to keep Camino warm in the stroller.  Her presence would likely have raised quite a few eyebrows in any other situation, but it seemed there was a tacit understanding that this was an OK reason for her to be in the entrance to the men’s prayer room given the weather outside.

Still, I knew she felt weird and at some point we decided to make a break for it.  We got pretty wet again leaving the park and took shelter in the first restaurant we could find, a South Indian place that called us an Uber and helped us dry Maya off.  The driver came and brought us home for a stated price of 9 Qatari rials (3 euros).  I thanked him and gave him two 10 rial bills, to which he seemed a bit confused why.  I’ve been trying to tip well.

A city full of transplants from all over the Global South, many of them everyday Muslims, stitched together by the common experience of hustling for opportunity in this center of Arab wealth and cultural ambition - I went back into the hotel thinking that this is the real story of Doha.

In a lot of ways, this place is as representative of the 21st century as any Western city.  

I’m still not really sure how I feel about all this.  But I’m glad I saw it.

Space Race

Causes of the Space Race was by the mid-1950s, the United States-Soviet Cold War had permeated the fabric of daily life in both countries, fueled by an arms race and the growing threat of nuclear weapons, extensive espionage and counter-espionage between the two countries, war in Korea, and a clash of words and ideas in the media. These tensions would be heightened by events such as the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, and the start of conflict in Southeast Asia during the space race. Space exploration provided another dramatic venue for Cold War rivalry. Sputnik (Russian for "traveller"), the world's first artificial satellite and the first man-made object to enter Earth's orbit, was launched on October 4, 1957, by a Soviet R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. Most Americans were taken aback by the launch of Sputnik, and not in a good way. Space was considered as the next frontier in the United States, a logical continuation of the magnificent American history of discovery, and it was critical not to lose too much ground to the Soviets. Furthermore, the demonstration of the R-7 missile's enormous power—apparently capable of carrying a nuclear warhead inside US airspace—made obtaining intelligence on Soviet military activity extremely vital. The United States launched its own satellite, Explorer I, in 1958, developed by the United States Army under the guidance of rocket scientist Wernher von Braun. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a government organisation committed to space exploration, was established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the same year. Eisenhower also established two national security-oriented space initiatives that would run concurrently with NASA's mission. The first, led by the United States Air Force, was focused to maximising the military potential of space. The second, code-named Corona, was led by the CIA, the Air Force, and a new entity called the National Reconnaissance Office and would employ orbiting satellites to gather intelligence on the Soviet Union and its allies.

The Soviet space programme advanced further in 1959 with the launch of Luna 2, the first space mission to land on the moon. Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, became the first human to circle Earth in April 1961, travelling in the capsule-like spacecraft Vostok 1. NASA engineers designed a smaller, cone-shaped capsule far lighter than Vostok for the United States' effort to send a man into space, dubbed Project Mercury; they tested the craft with chimps and held a final test flight in March 1961, before the Soviets were able to pull ahead with Gagarin's launch. Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5. (though not in orbit). Later in May, President John F. Kennedy boldly declared that the United States would place a man on the moon before the end of the decade. John Glenn became the first American to circle Earth in February 1962, and by the end of that year, the underpinnings of NASA's lunar landing mission, named Project Apollo, were in place. NASA's budget was about 500 percent raised from 1961 to 1964, and the lunar landing programme eventually encompassed 34,000 NASA workers and 375,000 corporate and academic contractors. In January 1967, three astronauts were murdered when their spacecraft caught fire during a launch rehearsal, putting an end to Apollo. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union's lunar landing programme proceeded cautiously, owing in part to internal dispute over its usefulness and the unexpected death (in January 1966) of Sergey Korolyov, the Soviet space program's chief engineer. Apollo 8, the first manned space mission to orbit the moon, was launched in December 1968 from NASA's huge launch complex on Merritt Island, near Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Apollo 11 space mission, the first lunar landing attempt, was launched on July 16, 1969, by US astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon's surface after a safe landing on July 20, 1969.

The United States effectively "won" the space race that began with Sputnik's launch in 1957 by landing on the moon. The Soviets, for their part, failed four times to launch a lunar landing vehicle between 1969 and 1972, including a dramatic launch-pad explosion in July 1969. The space race caught the American public's interest from start to finish, and the numerous breakthroughs by the Soviet and American space programmes were prominently reported in the national media. The new medium of television fueled this fever of curiosity even further. Astronauts began to be regarded as the ultimate American heroes, and earthlings seemed to relish living vicariously through them. In turn, the Soviets were portrayed as the ultimate villains, with their vast, persistent attempts to overcome America and demonstrate the communist system's dominance. After the space competition ended in the early 1970s, the US government's interest in lunar missions declined. In 1975, three American astronauts were sent into space on an Apollo spacecraft that docked in orbit with a Soviet-made Soyuz ship. When the two ships' commanders formally welcomed each other, their "space handshake" symbolised the steady thawing of US-Soviet ties in the late Cold War era.

I went on a 20-day #trip around Asia during #coronavirus #outbreak. I explained here my experience and took 25+ #precautions when I was on the trip

#corona travel flight asia

The impact of Corona on the tourism industry

It can be said that the corona virus has paralyzed the world tourism industry for more than a year. The tourism situation in Asia and Europe is very chaotic. Tourism activists are very concerned about this situation and are looking for a way to solve this problem.

The corona virus has left most hotels empty of passengers, flights canceled and museums and historical sites closed. Experts in the field estimate the damage caused by the virus at billions.

 The situation of European countries

With the spread of the virus, in countries such as Italy, it has closed the doors of many of its attractions to tourists. In Venice and Milan, museums, theaters, and other attractions, large gatherings, and ceremonies have been canceled and closed.

In France, the Louvre closed for two days and staff stopped working for fear of getting coronary. The famous tourism fair in Berlin, Germany was canceled due to the organizers' fear of the consequences. According to German statistics, about 17 to 26 percent of hotel customers were Chinese, earning about € 8 billion a year for Germany. The cancellation of Chinese travel is a major disadvantage for German tourism.

  The situation of Asian countries

The situation in Asian countries is much worse than in European countries. Because of the 150 million Chinese tourists, 90% of them travel to Asian countries and is a very important economic factor for Asia. Hotels, restaurants and attractions in Asian countries have also closed due to the cancellation of flights from China.

 The situation on the island of Bali, Japan and similar countries

The coronavirus on the Indonesian island of Bali has canceled 40,000 hotel reservations, closing most of them. Japan has also suffered a lot from this issue. In 2018, nearly 32 million Chinese tourists accounted for about a quarter of the country's revenue from the tourism industry. Most Japanese tourists are now from European and North American countries, and the number of them is decreasing day by day due to this virus.

 Situation in China, the main center of Corona

The corona virus has not spared the tourism industry in China itself, which is at the center of the outbreak, and has shut it down. The country's famous tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall of China or the Emperor's Palace in Beijing, are completely or partially closed to tourists.

Domestic flights in the country on the eve of the New Year are almost canceled and a limited number of them are performed. The situation in Hong Kong is also indefinable, as most of the tourists who visited the country were Chinese.

Countries have taken steps to revitalize the tourism industry. For example, the Hong Kong government announced that it would give all citizens of Hong Kong $ 10,000, equivalent to 1,200 euros. China, Singapore and Thailand have also promised tax cuts. Vietnam and Australia want to ease visa regulations and launch a tourist attraction campaign.

The governments of Malaysia and the Philippines have also asked people to travel to their home country as much as possible.

The corona virus has shown how influential China can be in the world tourism industry, and in this situation it feels empty. The Chinese are ranked number one in the industry due to the high cost of travel.

  Reduce restrictions and encourage people to travel

With the reduction of restrictions and the decrease of the number of patients in different parts of the world, some countries have taken measures to attract tourists.

The Japanese government, which saw the sharpest drop in tourists in April, has been subsidizing visitors since January.

In Taiwan, there have been at least two non-destination flights aimed at providing flight experience to disadvantaged citizens and showing them Taiwanese attractions from above.

Countries such as Mexico and Switzerland are trying to attract tourists again with various programs and even free hotel accommodation.

The Cypriot government has stated in a statement that if a person becomes infected with corona after a trip to the country, he or she will pay all the costs of accommodation, medicine and food for the tourist and his or her family.

Tourism is booming again in the United States. Before Corona, Americans were very interested in foreign travel, but despite the current situation, their attention is focused on domestic travel.

  Concluding remarks

 What is clear is that the world tourism industry will face one of its toughest challenges. Especially pioneering points such as China and Italy, which are the centers of corona conflict in the world and are decisive in this industry. The number of tourists is declining sharply and is largely unpredictable.

What we do know is that Chinese tourism is directly related to world tourism and affects all countries. To look closely at the tourism industry's loss statistics from the outbreak of coronary heart disease, we have to wait until the disease goes away, but what is clear is that we have to wait a long time.

On the day when the end of the corona is officially announced in the world, we will see great changes in the world, and the travel and tourism industry will be among the groups that will experience great changes and will progress further.

What was stated in this article was the impact of Corona on the world tourism industry, especially China. For more information, you can use the following resources.

Updating Some Fascist Bullshit on the Trump Pandemic

The following timeline has been posted on several fascist website as proof that Trump has been doing a good job in protecting America from the Trump Pandemic or COVID19. By my account and research I believe that 54% of it is false or misleading. So I went though it and added some key missing information. The original postings have the American date stamps and my research and comments are in italics and European date stamps

Here is the factual timeline for the Trump administration's handling of COVID-19. Might want to keep this handy...

Dec 31: China announces they are investigating a “pneumonia outbreak” in Wuhan

1 January 20 – CDC to check flights from Wuhan to downplay SARS rumors

3 January 20 – CDC is alerted to the Wuhan pneumonia

3 January 20 – Trump learns about COVID19 from intelligence officials

3 January 20 – Trump holds a rally in Miami

4 January 20 – Trump plays golf

4 January 20 – WHO reports on social media that there is a cluster of pneumonia cases with no deaths in Wuhan

5 January 20 – WHO publishes a technical paper on what China has reported about the cluster

5 January 20 – WHO begins to monitor the outbreak

5 January 20 – Trump plays golf

6 January 20 – WHO reports that China tells them there is no evidence of human to human transmission and that SARS is not virus

Jan 6: CDC issues travel advisory for Wuhan. (this is wrong it was a travel NOTICE) (There is a difference between a notice and an official advisory.)

Jan 7: CDC established an Incident Management System (just 7 days later) (The CDC can do this without a president telling them to)

8 January 20 – CDC issues an official health advisory about COVID-19

9 January 20 – Trump goes to rally

10 January 20 - Former Trump Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert warns that we shouldn’t “jerk around with ego politics” because “we face a global health threat…Coordinate!”

Jan 11: CDC tweets about corona related “pneumonia outbreak in China” Jan 14: WHO Tells Everyone Don’t Worry Because China Says Coronavirus is NOT Contagious (This is false WHO warns that this new virus could spread and warns hospitals worldwide.)

14 January 20 – Trump goes to a rally Jan 17: CDC sent 100+ staffers to specific US airports to screen travelers who have been in Wuhan (only to three airports in NY & CA)

18 January 20 - After two weeks of attempts, HHS Secretary Alex Azar finally gets the chance to speak to Trump about the virus. The president redirects the conversation to vaping.

18 January 20 – Trump plays golf

19 January 20 – Trump plays golf

19 January 20 – first US case is confirmed Jan 21: CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (just 3 weeks later) Jan 21: First case in US for someone who traveled directly from Wuhan.

21 January 20 – China confirms human to human transmission of Wuhan virus, WHO announces emergency meeting.

21 January 20 - Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease at the CDC tells reporters, “We do expect additional cases in the United States.”

22 January 20 – a reporter asks if there are “worries about a pandemic” Trump’s response; “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s – going to be just fine.”

22/23 January 20 – WHO Emergency Committee tries to “assess whether the outbreak constituted an” international “public health emergency. Independent members from around the world could not reach a consensus based upon the evidence available at the time.” Jan 23: WHO again says NO human to human transmission outside of China. (Completely false, see January 21 statement)

24 January 20 – Trump tweet: China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out will. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi! Jan 27: WHO raises alert level but is still saying China has it contained. (No creditable sources for this statement, no major newspapers or the WHO timeline carry this statement however at least six fascist websites carry this statement)

27 January 20 - Top White House aides meet with Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to encourage greater focus on the threat from the virus. Joe Grogan, head of the White House Domestic Policy Council warns that “dealing with the virus was likely to dominate life in the United States for many months.”

28 January 20 – Trump goes to a rally Jan 29: President established Presidential Task Force--BEFORE THE THING EVEN HAD A NAME (It has a name, see trump tweet on January 24, what it does not have is an official scientific name because science takes time.) Jan 30: State Dept issued a Do Not Travel warning to China. (still less than ONE month after initial announcement from China). Jan 30: WHO announced the Coronavirus is a public health emergency of international global concern. In short, BEFORE the WHO even announced its “global concern,” the administration was working on his response for almost a month, and had already established a Presidential task force.

30 January 20 – Trump goes to a rally in Iowa saying; “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment – five…we think it’s going to have a very good ending for it.” 31 January 20 – Trump issues his Proclamation on Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus Jan. 31: To the left's cries of “RACISM!”, the President proactively suspended entry of foreign nationals who’d been to China in the last 14 days. (The proclamation does not apply to, lawful permanent residents, alien spouses, alien parents, alien children, any alien traveling as a nonimmigrant, or any alien coming at the request of the government, therefore only Chinese citizens coming to visit America will be restricted. So yeah, it’s a bit racist because it doesn’t quarantine everyone who needs to be quarantined.) Jan. 31: The president issued quarantines, and through Secretary Azar, declared a public health emergency for the entire nation.

1 February 20 – Trump plays golf 2 February 20 – Trump tells Fox News host Sean Hannity, “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.” Feb 4: President Trump talks about coronavirus in his State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up every page. (I read the speech twice and never saw one mention of the virus.) Feb 5: The Senate votes to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment, 52-48 and 53-47. (I thought this was supposed to be a Trump/COVID19 timeline) Feb 5: House Democrats FINALLY take up coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia.

5 February 20 – Democratic Senators propose emergency funding bill  to prepare for the virus, Trump’s administration says no thanks. Feb 5: Chuck Schumer in a tweet continues to call Trumps’ travel ban from China “premature.” Feb 5: Democrats, media, Biden calls Trump xenophobic over reacting racist starting war on immigrants, fear mongering

7 February 20 – Trump praises Pres. Xi response to the virus and predicts that China will stop the outbreak. Feb 7th Both Pelosi and Deblasio calls Trump racist for ban, encourages people to go to Chinatown, use subway, and go to concerts. Feb 7: White House’s Coronavirus Task Force gives press briefing. Feb 9: White House Coronavirus Task Force meets with all governors regarding virus.

10 February 20 – Trump goes to a rally Feb 11: WHO named the virus COVID-19. LET THAT SINK IN.(One more time for those on the short bus, science takes time, a virus knocks on the door and then science checks it, double checks it, triple checks it and then tells the world. Then the world starts checking it and until a international consensus is reached it doesn’t get named.)

The Trump administration’s first response --- a week after the initial announcement---was when the virus had NOT even been named by the World Health Organization yet. It was NOT named until Day 42.  Meanwhile, the CDC, NIH, FEMA, FDA, HHS, the DOD, and All the agencies of OUR scientific community have already been working feverishly to sequence the RNA of the virus to get its proteins, its messenger RNA sequenced, and get a vaccine going. Feb 12: CDC waiting for approval from Chinese for CDC team to travel to China... China says No (Gee I wonder why? Could it be because Trump has been extremely critical of China multiple times? For no reason other than political gain.) Feb 12: HHS announces partnership to develop vaccine.

14 February 20 – Trump tells the Border Patrol Council; "We have a very small number of people in the country, right now, with it. It’s like around 12. Many of them are getting better. Some are fully recovered already. So we’re in very good shape."

15 February 20 – Trump plays golf

19 February 20 – Trump goes to a rally says “it’s going to work out fine”

20 February 20 – Trumps goes to a rally in Colorado Springs Feb 21: Italy identifies its very first case in their country. (wrong just wrong, Italy confirms its first death on this day) Feb 21: CDC tweets that it is working with States for preparedness. (correct)

21 February 20 – Trump goes to a rally Feb 24: Trump sent letter to Congress asking for $25B for virus effort. (wrong, the request was for $1.25B) Feb 24: Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Chinatown and encouraged people to “please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”(At this point, so fucking what, there is no national stay at home order & San Francisco won’t issue such an order until March 16th.) Feb. 24: The President unveiled the initial plan. (Redundant read the second statement up)

24 February 20 – Trump tweets: The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me! Feb 25: There is still no reported community spread in the US!!! (Per CDC tweet.) 

(The full tweet; “Currently there are very few cases of #COVID19 in the US & no reported community spread. But as more countries see community spread, successful containment becomes harder and the CDC is preparing for community spread in the US. (in other words…it’s coming motherfuckers)

25 February 20 – Trump at a news conference in India says that the virus is “well under control” and that there are very few people with it.”

27 February 20 – Trumps says “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

28 February 20 -  Total countries with confirmed cases 56, total number of cases 84,090, deaths 2,874

Yet, according to the leadership of the other party, Our President has failed us. Following OVER A MONTH of response—they’re accusing our president of failing us. Yes, TDS is real... Feb. 26: President Trump appointed VP Mike Pence to head the whole of government response. That appointment is in keeping with the 2015 Obama-era Blue Ribbon Panel on Biodefense.

26 February 20 – Trumps says “Within a couple of weeks it will be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” Feb 27: First community transmission in US. (actually it was on the 26th) Feb 27: Trump appoints Pence to coordinate efforts. (I thought he did that yesterday?)

28 February 20 – Trump goes to a rally Feb 29: 60 days after the Chinese announcement, the US sadly lost its first victim to COVID-19.

2 March 20 – Trump goes to a rally in Charlotte

9 March 20 – Trump tweets: The fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “the risk is low to the average American.”

7 March 20 – Trump refuses to talk with Pelosi, so she works with Mnuchin to craft a relief bill

7 March 20 – Trump says; “No I’m not concerned at all. We’ve done a great job.”

7 March 20 – Trump plays golf

8 March 20 – Trump plays golf

10 March 20 – Trump says; “and it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” March 11: WHO declares COVID-19 to be a global "pandemic." 11 March 20 – Trump in an address from the Oval Office FALSELY says that the health insurance industry has “agreed to waive all co-payments for coronavirus treatments.” In reality, getting tested would be free, but treatment would not be covered. This is the first time he admitted that COVID19 might be a problem.

13 March 20 - 121 countries have confirmed cases totaling 142,095 with 5,373 deaths

13 March 20 – Trump declares COVID19 a national emergency and says “No, I don’t take any responsibility at all.”

18 March 20 – Trump declares himself a “wartime president”

29 March 20 – Trump says; “If we have between 100,000 & 200,000 deaths we’ve done a very good job.”

So, 53 days BEFORE the US lost a single life to this disease, The Administration was already working diligently to protect our country... (Diligently? Perhaps the deep state government was working diligently but not Trump at best he jumped onto the bandwagon on March 11, 2020. Also this post begins on December 31 and ends on March 11, 2020 so unless my math is wrong it would be 62 days before the first US death.) Sadly the U.S. WILL lose lives to this virus--but as noted by an Obama appointee and former director of the CDC Tom Friedman, “had the President NOT responded so quickly, we would not have been prepared as we are, and more lives would’ve been lost” (I cannot confirm this quote to either Thomas Friedman the NYT moron or to Dr. Thomas Frieden the actual former CDC director. Dr. Frieden it must be noted has been very critical of the Trump administrations response to COVID19. I have however found this quote on several conservative blogs leading me to believe it’s a bullshit quote.) It is helpful to look at the actual timeline. All of this happened BEFORE the 1st death in U.S. (wrong, the first US death from COVID19 was on March 1 in Washington state.So not all of this happened before the first US death but most of it did like 86% of it.)

most of this info are from CDC tweets so anyone can look it up to check for accuracy. (most of this information is not from the CDC tweets, I read them.)

There were many more actions in between, I just took some highlights. Fact check it to see how accurate this is. Nobody's excusing anyone, just checking the timeline.

 Brainpicking Notes: Most of my sources where: CDC twitter account, CNN Coronavirus timeline, thinkglobalhealth.org, vox news, Politifact.com (verified with second sources), WHO timeline, covid19-archive.com, whitehouse.gov

 On March 30, 2020 Trump told Fox News that “We inherited a broken test" for COVID-19.” Really? How? Since no test existed before this virus jumped to humans and every country in the world entered a race to develop one who in the fuck could you have inherited it from?

The effect of Corona Virus on Tourism industry

Corona's outbreak has affected at least 124 countries today. Different countries have taken different measures to prevent its further spread. But now China, Iran, and Italy have become the three major centers of the disease; the three ancient empires of history, now renamed the Game of Time. Each has been treated differently for Covid-19 and Corona virus. With gradual quarantine, Italy has now reached a point where it has shut down the entire country, and only pharmacies and supermarkets, as well as cigarette and newsstands, will be open. Necessary industries continue to operate under strict health measures. The shutdown will hurt one of Italy's biggest sources of revenue, the tourism industry; an industry with about 237 billion euros in revenue and about 58 million tourists a year, it is unclear how long it will remain silent. The situation is similar in China. Of course, passenger travel in China was bilateral, and many countries canceled their flights to China, but since China is one of the transit centers for travelers to neighboring countries, this has had a negative impact on the businesses of other countries. . In China, tourism is a significant part of government revenue. China also hosted nearly 60 million tourists last year, but it is unclear when they will be able to visit the Dragon Land again. But in Iran, various components in recent months have reduced the number of tourists. Now the widespread spread of the corona virus. However, accurate statistics on the number of tourists in Iran last year are not available. Last year, nearly 5 million tourists visited Iran, according to the Tourism Organization.

Corona has taken the world's tourism industry by storm

Corona virus is the world's leading tourist destination. The situation in Asia is deplorable and there is no definition in Europe. Authorities are concerned that the situation is deteriorating and that governments are looking for ways to support tourism activists in their home country.

Empty hotels, canceled flights, closed museums. The corona virus has killed tourism in many countries, including Europe. Experts in the field estimate billions in damages. This is only in the context of the fact that Europe has not yet reached the peak of the Corona crisis.

With the spread of the corona virus in Italy, the doors of many attractions in the country were closed to tourists. Museums, theaters and other tourist attractions were closed in Venice and Milan. Large gatherings and ceremonies were canceled.

The Louvre Museum in France closed for two days. The museum staff stopped working for fear of getting corona. The tourism fair in Berlin, the capital of Germany, has been canceled. The organizers of the exhibition are worried about the consequences of canceling the exhibition and the loss of tourists from "Asian" countries. The German Tourism Center estimates that about 17 to 25 percent of the hotel's customers were Chinese. About eight billion euros a year from Chinese tourists go to Germany. The cancellation of Chinese travel is a major loss for the German tourism industry.

The situation in Asian countries is even worse. Because 90% of the 150 million Chinese tourists travel to Asian countries, they are an important economic factor for these countries. With the cancellation of flights from China, hotels, restaurants and sightseeing centers in these countries have also been deprived of a large part of the tourists who have access to their pockets.

40,000 vacant hotels in Bali

The Indonesian island of Bali has announced the cancellation of 40,000 hotel reservations. Japan has suffered even more. In 2018, nearly 32 million Chinese tourists made up a quarter of the country's tourism industry revenue. Most European and North American tourists now visit the country's tourist attractions, and some are becoming less and less afraid of the corona.

The situation is similar in Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam. "This is a real tragedy for these countries," said Wolfgang Arlett, director of the China Foreign Tourism Institute. Many economic actors own small handicraft and decorative shops. These are the countries whose days are closed to tourists buying "souvenirs". According to Wolfgang Arlett, the shops, hotels and travel agencies are closed. It is estimated that Thailand will have about six million fewer travelers this year, or 16 percent less tourists than last year.

Situation in China, the main center of Corona

The tourism industry lies in large parts of China. The country's famous tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall of China or the Palace of the Emperor in Beijing, are completely or partially closed to tourists. Domestic flights are almost asleep. At the height of the country's travel season, New Year's Eve in China, which began on January 24. The situation in Hong Kong is also very bad. Because most of the tourists who visited the country were from China.

The Corona virus has shown how important China is to the global tourism industry. 150 million Chinese tourists spent about $ 227 billion on their trips abroad in 2018. With this amount of money spent on tourism, Chinese tourists are the first in the world.

Experts predict that the tourism industry and the Chinese's excessive desire to travel will not be eradicated by the corona virus. It is predicted that by 2030, the number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad will reach 400 million, meaning that one in five tourists in the international tourism industry will be from China.

With the spread of the new corona virus, known as COVID-19, around the world, travelers are worried about their personal safety and future travel.

This article looks at some of the scary facts about corona virus while traveling, as well as the disturbing results of studies in this area. However, at the end of the article, we have tried to give you useful and reassuring advice and information on how to prevent this virus.

Current situation

By the time this article was written more than 3,000 people around the world had died from the corona virus. The rapid growth in the number of patients and the rising number of deaths around the world have affected all foreign travel.

Corona's impact on the tourism industry

This has led to the cancellation of many important gatherings, such as the world's largest tourism industry exhibition in Berlin, and other events in the tourism industry, such as the closure of the Louvre and the cancellation of flights. The growth rate of cancellation of business trips is also at a warning level.

According to a recent survey by the World Trade Association of 401 travel companies, 65% of them canceled their visits and plans due to the outbreak of the corona virus.

The Hopper tourism app also surveyed various tickets and flights around the world to learn about the impact of the Corona virus on the tourism industry, and concluded that demand in many tourist destinations is declining.

How Corona-virus affecting Customers and business..

Business is affected by various types of things including internal and external factors in the environment in which particular type of business is prevailing. Whenever there is increase or decrease in sales, do you think it’s because your product is outstanding? Absolutely not, it’s because many factors are influencing consumers to buy your product. These factors include current affairs prevailing in the market. 

Nowadays, Corona-virus is spreading very vastly around the world. Now, it is becoming the major concern for business and customers. Corona-virus has hit the global economy very hard and made a drastic fall in the economy worldwide.According to Martin Ma, the general manager of Jinli, they lost more than 50% customers because of this epidemic as  compare to other years. Customers are less willing to buy products which come from China. China is one of the best manufacturers which produce goods in large quantity. Because mostly goods produce in China, consumers are hesitating to buy the goods because of this virus. Elizabeth Chin, a travel agent in Fort Lee, N.J., of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, also said that it can be serious financial burden on the economy because of cancellation in flights and tour operators 

Automobile Industry: As we all know that various types production units are being setup in china, corona-virus has led to seize all the production units in china which has incurred a huge loss to the companies like Toyota and Volkswagen. These companies manufacture vehicles and are supplies worldwide to various countries on order. Companies unable to complete the orders face huge losses. Buyers are facing the problem of not getting their product on time. 

Manufacturing output is not only impacted in companies functioning in china. It can be similarly seen in the south Korean companies like Hyundai and Honda. Hyundai has halted its production because of the lack of supplies of the parts required for manufacturing. Likewise, Honda has stopped production because its main production units are being setup in the Wuhan which is the center of epidemic. 

Clothing Industry: Many popular brands like Nike, Adidas, H&M and Hugo Boss has closed their stores in china and also opening hours are being reduced. Nike announced that 17% of its revenue in a year came from china which is now reduced. Various brand outlets halted their production and sales are reduced to minimum which has affected the profits for the company.

Tourism: For any country tourism is one of that industry which always generates revenue and helps the economy to rise but due to corona-virus tourism industry in all countries is facing a major fall as cross-border travel has been halted by the government to minimize the spread of the virus. From the reports it can be known that from the recent years the number of people travelling to china has been skyrocketed that is 10.5 million in 2000 to 150 million in 2018, from this we can come to know that tourism is one of the major industry that has been affected by the corona-virus outbreak worldwide. Specially customers from china facing so many problems such as they can not visit abroad and people from other nations are not willing to travel China.

After a VERY long day of travelling, we are finally here! Because tourism to Asia is so low right now given the corona virus scare, our plane was practically empty! We were each able to get our own row each to lay down. And for a 17 hour flight... this was very needed. I got bits of sleep here and there, but slept a solid 3-4 hours near the back half of the flight.

We arrived in Singapore around 8:00pm on March 4, grabbed our bags, bought a SIM card at the airport for 12 Singapore dollars for 100 GB and made our way to the hostel! 2 subway rides, and a few walked blocks later we arrived at Little Red Dot hostel. Starving, we dropped our bags off and looked around the neighborhood for some food! The dish I posted was only 4 Singapore dollars! The exchange to CAD is pretty close.

Nearing midnight, Maddo and I made our way back to the hostel, had a snack and played some connect four before turning in for the night. Off to Phuket tomorrow around 6:25 PM; there is a direct shuttle from our hostel to the airport! We are going to visit little India tomorrow morning before and see what it’s like there! Still trying to get used to the heat, this will take time but I’m not complaining! 😂

What Impacted COVID-19 on Knee Cartilage Repair ?

Impact of COVID-19 on Knee Cartilage Repair in Healthcare Industry

The novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted almost all industries across the globe. This pandemic has resulted in mass production shutdowns and supply chain disruptions, which has also affected the economy.

The lockdown of countries lead to decreased number of knee cartilage repair surgeries as they are non-essential in comparison with the emergent services required by people affected with COVID-19. According to the weekly epidemiological report of 27th September 2020 by World Health Organization (WHO) stated 32.7 million cases of corona has been reported globally, and 991,000 patients are dead due to the coronavirus. However, 6,720,771 cases are reported in South-East Asia only, and 110,711 people died due to coronavirus. Moreover, 600,891 cases are reported in Western Pacific and 13,129 people died due to coronavirus. The implications of COVID-19 having considerable influence on the knee cartilage repair market are now starting to be felt. Various factors which have indirect influence on the decline in medical aesthetics procedures along with the decline in the adoption of knee cartilage repair include flight cancellations, travel bans, mass quarantine along with growing panic among the population, and uncertainty about future.

The COVID-19 for a longer period has adversely affected the most vulnerable groups of population, including geriatric, mothers, and children. Globally, countries are expecting drastic decline in dietary quality in low- and middle-income countries as a result of loss of income, shutdown of businesses, human and goods movement restrictions imposed by governments, de-globalization, and breakdown of food markets due to both demand shocks and supply constraints. This disease has a variable impact in different countries depending on their cultural norms, mitigation efforts, and health infrastructure, and each country is working its way out to fight against the pandemic.

The COVID-19 outbreak will impact the knee cartilage repair market in the initial phase of the forecast period. Due to nationwide lockdowns, denied orthopedic services, and cancelled or postponed elective surgeries, the knee cartilage repair market is expected to decline during the initial phase of the forecasted period. However, during the latter half of the forecast period, the demand for knee cartilage repair products is expected to rise drastically.

Impact on Demand

Elective surgeries are being denied (canceled/postponed) to reserve or redirect the available limited capacities and resources (like hospital beds and patient care professionals) towards COVID-19 patient care. Moreover, various countries have enforced lockdowns and curfews to curb the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases. The lockdowns, has affected the demand for knee cartilage repair surgeries during 2020; however, this demand is expected to rise exponentially in the latter half of the forecasted period. Due to lockdowns in Q1 and Q2 of 2020, the number of elective surgeries performed significantly reduced. This has dramatically reduced the sales of knee cartilage repair products in Q1 and Q2 of 2020. On average, the growth rate declined by 20−30% in the last six months.

The key players are heavily investing in projects related to knee cartilage repair during these crises. These all factors are predicted to boost the market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic

For instances,

·         In June 2021 DJO, LLC Acquired Mathys AG Bettlach, a Switzerland-based company that develops and distributes innovative products for artificial joint replacement

·         In April 2021, Stryker has partnered with Minor League Baseball and became the Official SmartRobotics Joint Replacement Partner. Stryker has launched the latest innovation in joint replacement technology, Mako SmartRobotics which uses a 3D CT-Based planning software for hip and knee replacement. It helps the surgeons to create a 3D image of each patient’s unique anatomy

·         In March 2021, DJO, LLC made investment in Insight Medical Systems (“Insight”), a technology company dedicated to wearable surgical navigation in orthopedics. For Next-Generation Augmented Reality Technology

·         In March 2021, Smith-Nephew and Huma The digital technology has developed a remote patient monitoring app for orthopaedic surgery. Due to COVID-19, the UK surgeries are running at 50% of usual capacity, due to which there are about 250000 patients on waiting lists for orthopaedic operations. In order to restart the safe surgery, the company along with Huma as developed a way for surgeons to prepare their patients in a better way through remote patient monitoring by app

·         In May 2020, MEDIPOST Co., Ltd. announced the completion of administration of all subject in the phase 1 clinical study of intra-articular injectable knee osteoarthritis cell therapy product, which is being developed as second-generation stem cell therapy product for knee osteoarthritis

Impact on Supply

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the supply chains for the entire manufacturing sector. According to the Institute for Supply Chain Management, 75% of the companies reported the disruptions in the supply chain due to restrictions in the transportation by the coronavirus. Also, 50% of the companies reported the unexpected delays in receiving orders, a problem compounded by supply chain information blackout from the China. 

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and its subsequent impact on restrictions on trade and movement of goods has resulted in the shutdown of vast portions of the global economy, resulting in disrupted supply chains due to limited materials and workforce and slowdown or stopping of manufacturing. Moreover, several medical equipment manufacturing companies are retooling for priority manufacturing to produce other essential medical supplies and equipment such as ventilators.

The trade restrictions have left no choice but making domestic manufacturing of essential medical devices a necessity. During the pandemic, as the demand increases, counterfeiting and price gouging of imported goods increase.

The COVID-19 situation has led to disrupted supply chains for knee cartilage repair market. The shortage of the instruments used in the surgery, along with no access to healthcare facilities where these surgeries could be done, leads to decreased availability of such procedures. This means that the supply of knee cartilage repair surgeries is limited in situations where their demand is high.

Impact on Price

Due to the pandemic, there is delay associated with various types of limitations faced by the manufacturers to fulfill the end product order, which has resulted in the less availability of products in the market and due to which the cost of available products has increased with the several factors. Also, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak, manufacturers are forced to find new contract manufacturers and suppliers for move manufacturing activities to different or unique facilities locations that are less impacted by outbreaks.

The current COVID-19 episode has influenced essentially every industry, and knee cartilage repair is no exemption. There has been a tremendous and sudden lessening in the volume knee cartilage repair surgeries worldwide as wellbeing situation legitimately organize their COVID-19 reaction.

In current situations, the manufactures of knee cartilage repair products are facing difficulties with existing component suppliers or contracts, manufacturers which are at risk or closed or not being able to fulfill supply requirements due to challenges such as extended periods of shut down or workforce are responsible for price fluctuation of knee cartilage repair products.

Strategic Decisions of Government and Manufacturers

During this time of crisis, Considering recent announcements from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as local government agencies, several key players of knee cartilage repair market across the globe are making changes in their policies for their employees.

·         In March 2020, ISTO Technologies Inc. announced that all Isto employees have been encouraged to work from home for the foreseeable future should their specific role allow it. We will continue to follow the guidelines of local, state, and federal governments to ensure we are doing our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19

·         In 2020, Smith+Nephew done partnership with Tharsus to improve workplace safety and use anonymous employee data to inform effective social-distancing

·         In 2020, Stryker team at medical division came together to develop a low-cost, readily available bed to ship to hospitals quickly, as caregivers faced the unprecedented need for additional equipment on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. Also, donated more than 22,500 Emergency Relief Bed Kits to Project C.U.R.E

Conclusion

The desire of the patients for the knee cartilage repair treatment is strong but the practice must gain the trust and loyalty to offset the economic concerns after the COVID-19 situation. Each market is presented with individual barriers but to gain back the normality, those barriers are needed to be overcome. Along with the barriers, many opportunities will come with challenges which will aid in surging the market again. The decline in the demand for surgery is seen in order to minimize the spread of the virus and to use the resources preferentially for emergent procedures. Moreover, the government imposed lockdown in various countries across globe, further added to the burden of decline in the demand for the surgery.

Concerns directly linked to COVID-19 such as personal touch, social distancing problems, or PPE concerns were recorded by 51 percent of patients with income conditions and affordability closely behind among 44 percent. Promotions and deals are one potential strategy to re-engage selected patients. Finance is a barrier to entry, with respondents concerned about potential economic changes affecting their previous routines. However, considering the use of payment plans, concerns related to intimate contact, social distancing, or PPE concerns related to income situation and affordability for cleaning protocols grouped treatment options or “bolt-on” style treatment deals, coupled with new safety measures may help patients feel comfortable, reassured and confident to return to aesthetic treatments as knee cartilage repair.

Although COVID-19 continues to raise obstacles for the sector, clinics and clinicians should adopt the lessons to ensure stable, reliable, and secure procedures and continuing correspondence to help inform patients and promote a timely return to care once clinics are re-opened.

The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges.

What Impacted COVID-19 on Aircraft Seat Actuation System Market ?

Impact of COVID-19 on Aircraft Seat Actuation System Market in Automotive Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the whole planet with its major impacts on the economy and businesses across the globe. The COVID-19 spread worldwide in unprecedented ways due to its high infectious and contagious nature and lack of availability of its vaccine. As a result, the greatest medical challenge in the 21st century is yet to be faced by physicians worldwide. Though the emergence of the virus can be traced back to Asia, many European countries along with the U.S. have been struck massively by the pandemic. The virus has spread across all regions ranging from North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa up to South America. The COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) due to its increased spread across the globe. After the declaration of the pandemic, various countries announced the complete lockdown such as India, China, and other Asian countries to decrease its spread. According to the situation report of 7th June, 2021 by WHO stated 174 million cases of the corona have been reported globally and 3.7 million patients are dead due to the coronavirus. On a slightly positive note, a total of 157 million people have recovered and total of 1.9 million vaccine doses have been administered as well.

Actuators convert electrical signals to mechanical movements.  Seat actuation system in aircrafts enables passengers to adjust their seating position as per their comfort level. Seats are powered and adjustable between various seating positions depending upon passenger’s requirement. Aircraft seat actuation systems also allow passengers to adjust environmental conditions around their seat such as lighting and temperature, watch movies and adjust their head and foot rest.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the aircraft seat actuation system market significantly. The persistence of COVID-19 has affected the aviation sector and hence disrupted the travelling and movement facilities which were previously available for citizens of any economy.

STRATEGIC DECISIONS BY MANUFACTURERS OF AIRCRACT SEAT ACTUATION SYSTEM

The financial condition and results of operations have been adversely affected by seat actuator manufacturing companies. This pandemic had forced the governments around the world to implement stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus. As a result, global demand for travel had declined in the year 2020 at a rapid pace and has remained depressed since then. This impact of COVID-19 had continued to evolve and the shape and speed of recovery for the commercial aerospace still many industry’s growth remains uncertain. Few challenges have been faced by manufacturers of aviation companies. Such as,

·         Partial or full closure of offices or manufacturing facilities, either voluntarily or in response to government had affected the production line.

·         Lower production capacity and labor productivity due to employee illness, loss of key personnel, inability to travel, or the implementation of government mandated or voluntary preventative measures such as reductions in operating hours.

·         Liquidity challenges including an inability to pay suppliers and vendors.

All these unfavorable situations had affected the global economic and capital market conditions of seat actuator manufacturing companies, which further forced the manufacturers to take few measures in order to reduce the impact of this volatility through diversification of markets and expansion. With this, few seat actuator manufactures had pursued business opportunities from other markets, taking advantage of its technical design expertise and manufacturing capabilities.

For instance,

Astronics Corporation had reported significant concentration of business with their two major customers; Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) and The Boeing Company (“Boeing”). Sales to Panasonic accounted for 11.1% of sales in 2020, 13.0% of sales in 2019, and 14.4% of sales in 2018.  Also the company reported that the loss of Boeing or Panasonic as major customers may have significant reduction in business with either of those customers would reduce our sales and earnings. In 2020, they had a concentration of sales to Boeing and Panasonic representing approximately 9.5% and 11.1% of our sales, respectively. The loss of either of these customers or a significant reduction in business would significantly reduce the sales and overall earnings of the company.

In addition, the commercial airline industry is highly cyclical and sensitive to such things as fuel price increases, labor disputes, global economic conditions, availability of capital to fund new aircraft purchases and upgrades of existing aircraft and passenger demand, all of which have been significantly impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A change in any of these factors could result in a further reduction in the amount of air travel and the ability of airlines to invest in new seat actuating system in aircraft or to upgrade existing aircraft. These factors would reduce orders for new aircraft and hence, spending for cabin upgrades for which the manufacturing companies’ supplies their products, thereby reducing the overall sales of the companies.

IMPACT ON THE DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF AIRCRAFT SEAT ACTUATION SYSTEM

When the pandemic emerged, all the sectors including the aviation sector have been adversely affected due to government restrictions for travelling and movement.

The commercial aerospace industry, in particular, has been significantly disrupted, both domestically and internationally. The aviation industry has the huge growth potential to help the country’s economic growth but due to lockdown imposition, the companies’ manufacturing of aircraft parts had been adversely affected owing to less number of order received and severe financial crisis. These factors are responsible for slowing down of the production facilities permanently. During this unprecedented time, various companies are experiencing disruption in production capacities due to movement of labor to their native villages, non-travelling of passengers, and customers defer delivery of new aircraft. This has overall, reduced the demand of aircraft seat actuation system significantly. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis distanced more than 1 billion passengers in the year, 2020 as compared to the projected baseline representing a decline of around 64.6% of total global passenger traffic.

As Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO said, ‘’Last year was a catastrophe. There is no other way to describe it. What recovery there was over the Northern hemisphere summer season stalled in autumn and the situation turned dramatically worse over the year-end holiday season, as more severe travel restrictions were imposed in the face of new outbreaks and new strains of COVID-19”

Aircraft seat actuation systems provide comfortable seating for the passengers in commercial as well as private aircraft. But as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, demand for spare parts is also down because of low maintenance requirement level. While production may slow for the same reasons as in aircraft manufacturing, demand over the next two years is unlikely to be affected since few manufactures are facing severe financial crisis. Additionally, supply of aircraft pneumatic seat actuation system parts such as electronic components, position sensors, and arresting brakes have been depressed due to the ongoing pandemic.

For instance,

According to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, commercial aircraft with 9G seats will no longer be permitted to operate in the next few years. The board had framed these regulations on the requirement for aircraft to have stronger seats, which must be designed to increase the survivability of passengers and flight attendants during accidents. These had also posed a challenge for airlines in terms of cost and time as many of them do not have the budget to replace seats of all older aircraft with new ones.

CONCLUSION

Pandemic has taken a toll on every aspect of life, including the global economy. With the significant downfalls in many sectors, a collaborative effort of government, industry players, and consumers can win the fight against COVID-19.

While most of the companies have shown resilience by innovating technologies in real time, and demonstrating the tremendous value of the manufacturing network to customers and partners around the world, by partnering & collaborating together, seat actuator manufacturers are developing technologies and capabilities either internally or through acquisition to provide innovative solutions to the aerospace, defense and other markets where their technology can be beneficial even in this unprecedented time. This would create opportunities for the companies to deploy capital growth in the business and thereby surviving & wining in the market place in these uncertain times.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the entire business scenario of aviation sector. The commercial airline industry has been severely affected by factors such as travelling restrictions, fuel price increases, labor disputes, global economic conditions, availability of capital to fund new aircraft purchases and upgrades of existing aircraft and passenger demand.

·         In March 2021, Smith-Nephew and Huma The digital technology has developed a remote patient monitoring app for orthopaedic surgery. Due to COVID-19, the UK surgeries are running at 50% of usual capacity, due to which there are about 250000 patients on waiting lists for orthopaedic operations. In order to restart the safe surgery, the company along with Huma as developed a way for surgeons to prepare their patients in a better way through remote patient monitoring by app

·         In May 2020, MEDIPOST Co., Ltd. announced the completion of administration of all subject in the phase 1 clinical study of intra-articular injectable knee osteoarthritis cell therapy product, which is being developed as second-generation stem cell therapy product for knee osteoarthritis

Impact on Supply

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the supply chains for the entire manufacturing sector. According to the Institute for Supply Chain Management, 75% of the companies reported the disruptions in the supply chain due to restrictions in the transportation by the coronavirus. Also, 50% of the companies reported the unexpected delays in receiving orders, a problem compounded by supply chain information blackout from the China. 

The COVID-19 situation has led to disrupted supply chains for knee cartilage repair market. The shortage of the instruments used in the surgery, along with no access to healthcare facilities where these surgeries could be done, leads to decreased availability of such procedures. This means that the supply of knee cartilage repair surgeries is limited in situations where their demand is high.

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and its subsequent impact on restrictions on trade and movement of goods has resulted in the shutdown of vast portions of the global economy, resulting in disrupted supply chains due to limited materials and workforce and slowdown or stopping of manufacturing. Moreover, several medical equipment manufacturing companies are retooling for priority manufacturing to produce other essential medical supplies and equipment such as ventilators.

The trade restrictions have left no choice but making domestic manufacturing of essential medical devices a necessity. During the pandemic, as the demand increases, counterfeiting and price gouging of imported goods increase.

Impact on Price

Due to the pandemic, there is delay associated with various types of limitations faced by the manufacturers to fulfill the end product order, which has resulted in the less availability of products in the market and due to which the cost of available products has increased with the several factors. Also, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak, manufacturers are forced to find new contract manufacturers and suppliers for move manufacturing activities to different or unique facilities locations that are less impacted by outbreaks.

In current situations, the manufactures of knee cartilage repair products are facing difficulties with existing component suppliers or contracts, manufacturers which are at risk or closed or not being able to fulfill supply requirements due to challenges such as extended periods of shut down or workforce are responsible for price fluctuation of knee cartilage repair products.

The current COVID-19 episode has influenced essentially every industry, and knee cartilage repair is no exemption. There has been a tremendous and sudden lessening in the volume knee cartilage repair surgeries worldwide as wellbeing situation legitimately organize their COVID-19 reaction.

Strategic Decisions of Government and Manufacturers

During this time of crisis, Considering recent announcements from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as local government agencies, several key players of knee cartilage repair market across the globe are making changes in their policies for their employees.

·         In March 2020, ISTO Technologies Inc. announced that all Isto employees have been encouraged to work from home for the foreseeable future should their specific role allow it. We will continue to follow the guidelines of local, state, and federal governments to ensure we are doing our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19

·         In 2020, Smith+Nephew done partnership with Tharsus to improve workplace safety and use anonymous employee data to inform effective social-distancing

·         In 2020, Stryker team at medical division came together to develop a low-cost, readily available bed to ship to hospitals quickly, as caregivers faced the unprecedented need for additional equipment on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. Also, donated more than 22,500 Emergency Relief Bed Kits to Project C.U.R.E

Conclusion

The desire of the patients for the knee cartilage repair treatment is strong but the practice must gain the trust and loyalty to offset the economic concerns after the COVID-19 situation. Each market is presented with individual barriers but to gain back the normality, those barriers are needed to be overcome. Along with the barriers, many opportunities will come with challenges which will aid in surging the market again. The decline in the demand for surgery is seen in order to minimize the spread of the virus and to use the resources preferentially for emergent procedures. Moreover, the government imposed lockdown in various countries across globe, further added to the burden of decline in the demand for the surgery.

Concerns directly linked to COVID-19 such as personal touch, social distancing problems, or PPE concerns were recorded by 51 percent of patients with income conditions and affordability closely behind among 44 percent. Promotions and deals are one potential strategy to re-engage selected patients. Finance is a barrier to entry, with respondents concerned about potential economic changes affecting their previous routines. However, considering the use of payment plans, concerns related to intimate contact, social distancing, or PPE concerns related to income situation and affordability for cleaning protocols grouped treatment options or “bolt-on” style treatment deals, coupled with new safety measures may help patients feel comfortable, reassured and confident to return to aesthetic treatments as knee cartilage repair.

Although COVID-19 continues to raise obstacles for the sector, clinics and clinicians should adopt the lessons to ensure stable, reliable, and secure procedures and continuing correspondence to help inform patients and promote a timely return to care once clinics are re-opened.

The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges.

COVID-19 Impact on Aircraft Seat Actuation System Market in Automotive Industry | Data Bridge Market Research

COVID-19 Impact on Aircraft Seat Actuation System Market in Automotive Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the whole planet with its major impacts on the economy and businesses across the globe. The COVID-19 spread worldwide in unprecedented ways due to its high infectious and contagious nature and lack of availability of its vaccine. As a result, the greatest medical challenge in the 21st century is yet to be faced by physicians worldwide. Though the emergence of the virus can be traced back to Asia, many European countries along with the U.S. have been struck massively by the pandemic. The virus has spread across all regions ranging from North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa up to South America. The COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) due to its increased spread across the globe. After the declaration of the pandemic, various countries announced the complete lockdown such as India, China, and other Asian countries to decrease its spread. According to the situation report of 7th June, 2021 by WHO stated 174 million cases of the corona have been reported globally and 3.7 million patients are dead due to the coronavirus. On a slightly positive note, a total of 157 million people have recovered and total of 1.9 million vaccine doses have been administered as well.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the aircraft seat actuation system market significantly. The persistence of COVID-19 has affected the aviation sector and hence disrupted the travelling and movement facilities which were previously available for citizens of any economy.

Actuators convert electrical signals to mechanical movements.  Seat actuation system in aircrafts enables passengers to adjust their seating position as per their comfort level. Seats are powered and adjustable between various seating positions depending upon passenger’s requirement. Aircraft seat actuation systems also allow passengers to adjust environmental conditions around their seat such as lighting and temperature, watch movies and adjust their head and foot rest.

IMPACT ON THE DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF AIRCRAFT SEAT ACTUATION SYSTEM

When the pandemic emerged, all the sectors including the aviation sector have been adversely affected due to government restrictions for travelling and movement.

The commercial aerospace industry, in particular, has been significantly disrupted, both domestically and internationally. The aviation industry has the huge growth potential to help the country’s economic growth but due to lockdown imposition, the companies’ manufacturing of aircraft parts had been adversely affected owing to less number of order received and severe financial crisis. These factors are responsible for slowing down of the production facilities permanently. During this unprecedented time, various companies are experiencing disruption in production capacities due to movement of labor to their native villages, non-travelling of passengers, and customers defer delivery of new aircraft. This has overall, reduced the demand of aircraft seat actuation system significantly. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis distanced more than 1 billion passengers in the year, 2020 as compared to the projected baseline representing a decline of around 64.6% of total global passenger traffic.

As Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO said, ‘’Last year was a catastrophe. There is no other way to describe it. What recovery there was over the Northern hemisphere summer season stalled in autumn and the situation turned dramatically worse over the year-end holiday season, as more severe travel restrictions were imposed in the face of new outbreaks and new strains of COVID-19”

Aircraft seat actuation systems provide comfortable seating for the passengers in commercial as well as private aircraft. But as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, demand for spare parts is also down because of low maintenance requirement level. While production may slow for the same reasons as in aircraft manufacturing, demand over the next two years is unlikely to be affected since few manufactures are facing severe financial crisis. Additionally, supply of aircraft pneumatic seat actuation system parts such as electronic components, position sensors, and arresting brakes have been depressed due to the ongoing pandemic.

For instance,

According to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, commercial aircraft with 9G seats will no longer be permitted to operate in the next few years. The board had framed these regulations on the requirement for aircraft to have stronger seats, which must be designed to increase the survivability of passengers and flight attendants during accidents. These had also posed a challenge for airlines in terms of cost and time as many of them do not have the budget to replace seats of all older aircraft with new ones.

STRATEGIC DECISIONS BY MANUFACTURERS OF AIRCRACT SEAT ACTUATION SYSTEM

The financial condition and results of operations have been adversely affected by seat actuator manufacturing companies. This pandemic had forced the governments around the world to implement stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus. As a result, global demand for travel had declined in the year 2020 at a rapid pace and has remained depressed since then. This impact of COVID-19 had continued to evolve and the shape and speed of recovery for the commercial aerospace still many industry’s growth remains uncertain. Few challenges have been faced by manufacturers of aviation companies. Such as,

·         Partial or full closure of offices or manufacturing facilities, either voluntarily or in response to government had affected the production line.

·         Lower production capacity and labor productivity due to employee illness, loss of key personnel, inability to travel, or the implementation of government mandated or voluntary preventative measures such as reductions in operating hours.

·         Liquidity challenges including an inability to pay suppliers and vendors.

All these unfavorable situations had affected the global economic and capital market conditions of seat actuator manufacturing companies, which further forced the manufacturers to take few measures in order to reduce the impact of this volatility through diversification of markets and expansion. With this, few seat actuator manufactures had pursued business opportunities from other markets, taking advantage of its technical design expertise and manufacturing capabilities.

For instance,

Astronics Corporation had reported significant concentration of business with their two major customers; Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”) and The Boeing Company (“Boeing”). Sales to Panasonic accounted for 11.1% of sales in 2020, 13.0% of sales in 2019, and 14.4% of sales in 2018.  Also the company reported that the loss of Boeing or Panasonic as major customers may have significant reduction in business with either of those customers would reduce our sales and earnings. In 2020, they had a concentration of sales to Boeing and Panasonic representing approximately 9.5% and 11.1% of our sales, respectively. The loss of either of these customers or a significant reduction in business would significantly reduce the sales and overall earnings of the company.

In addition, the commercial airline industry is highly cyclical and sensitive to such things as fuel price increases, labor disputes, global economic conditions, availability of capital to fund new aircraft purchases and upgrades of existing aircraft and passenger demand, all of which have been significantly impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A change in any of these factors could result in a further reduction in the amount of air travel and the ability of airlines to invest in new seat actuating system in aircraft or to upgrade existing aircraft. These factors would reduce orders for new aircraft and hence, spending for cabin upgrades for which the manufacturing companies’ supplies their products, thereby reducing the overall sales of the companies.

CONCLUSION

Pandemic has taken a toll on every aspect of life, including the global economy. With the significant downfalls in many sectors, a collaborative effort of government, industry players, and consumers can win the fight against COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the entire business scenario of aviation sector. The commercial airline industry has been severely affected by factors such as travelling restrictions, fuel price increases, labor disputes, global economic conditions, availability of capital to fund new aircraft purchases and upgrades of existing aircraft and passenger demand.

While most of the companies have shown resilience by innovating technologies in real time, and demonstrating the tremendous value of the manufacturing network to customers and partners around the world, by partnering & collaborating together, seat actuator manufacturers are developing technologies and capabilities either internally or through acquisition to provide innovative solutions to the aerospace, defense and other markets where their technology can be beneficial even in this unprecedented time. This would create opportunities for the companies to deploy capital growth in the business and thereby surviving & wining in the market place in these uncertain times.

Get enough sleep

To be in good condition for your vacation, be sure you get lots of sleep and rest. Do this both before your traveling date and during it. It is a known fact that a lot of people try to complete all their work before they go on a vacation. There are late nights spent workings as they try making up for the time they are away on a trip. So they start their vacation tired and exhausted.

Try not to be too stressful and exhausted. You can't generally do everything. Get lots of sleep and rest before you start traveling. Furthermore, ensure you do the same during your journey. Your body needs actual rest after flights. It also needs recovery after lots of walking that is normal when exploring new places. After a good night sleep or rest, you will have a more awesome day exploring the next day.

Bring the necessary things (face mask, hand sanitizer, clothes, and others)

So you are looking for a good start and feeling healthy and rested. Traveling from flights, buses and trains leave you expose to illnesses and germs. It`s important to travel with face mask during this pandemic. Face mask will help protect you from people sneezing and coughing. Since you will start wearing them, there will be low chance of you being infected by Covid-19.

Furthermore, with the outbreak of corona virus, people are more careful while traveling, and face mask are more normal. Further, all that you touch on a plane, train or bus has had numerous hands contact it. You've heard it more than once, wash your hands! These words are most important when traveling. Be sure to do it as frequently as you can and always before eating.

Carry hand sanitizer and wet wipes in your luggage. Use them generously during flights and visits, particularly if you are contacting things like handrails and when there is no water and soap accessible. Likewise, try not to contact your face. Also, on the off chance that somebody is coughing close by, walk away and focus on at least 1.5 meters space between you. Your top priority is to stay healthy while traveling.

Moreover, be prepared for temperature changes in the event that you are traveling from one season to another. On the off chance that you are going in winter, bring the layers, warm hats, socks, gloves, waterproof gear and pack the right clothes.

Drink Lots of Water

Water is life, and remaining hydrated is crucial for your health. When you are traveling, you are in a situation where you are drying out your body. The air-conditioning on the plane will dehydrate your body. Long plane trips combined with alcohol are incredibly dehydrating to your body. So have a healthy start, avoid alcohol and rather drink lots of water on the plane. It has a huge impact on staying healthy while traveling.

Also remember that stretching and taking walks helps you avoid blood clots during long flights. At your destination, you will find many activities like exploring tourist attractions can make you dehydrated, particularly if it is hot. Carry a bottle of water around with you any place you go to make sure to remain hydrated. Additionally, in the event that you are in Asia, remember the hydration advantages of coconuts.

Take time for yourself

A group travel in a new place can be an exciting experience. There's undeniable enjoyment in exploring a new place with a group of similar people who are in the same position as you are. It`s a fact that during your journey you'll make probably the greatest friends and build some truly incredible connections. All things considered, as people you all need time for yourselves. You all need time to relax, not be around people, and be alone with your own thoughts.

On an experience like traveling to new place, living with amazing people that you have limited time with, you'll need to be with them for 24/7. It can negatively affect your body and mind on the off chance that you don't take times to slow down and process all the amazing things that are going on around you.

Follow the above tips properly and be sure to stay in safe accommodation, like hotels in Cherokee, IA during your vacation in Cherokee. Your health is your top priority and with all these Coivd-19 things, it`s important to be cautious during your journey.
