    Please do not travel. Coronavirus will still be around in December.

    Stop the spread

      If you've already caught it by then (developed immunity to that strain), or it's otherwise under control, then is it not okay to travel?

      If not, then you can always cancel your trip closer to the day.

        You can get immunity from this virus?

        What underlying future effect of getting the virus are there?

          You can get immunity from this virus?

          would make a vaccine pretty useless if you couldnt ;)

          • Turd on 03/04/2020 - 08:39

            @SBOB: Did they make a vaccine for SAR-CoV-1 yet?

            • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 09:19
              +1

              @Turd: Not much economic incentive to do so when it only affected a few thousand people in one part of the world, and 15 years ago vaccine development cost far more. Every scientist worth their salt will be working on a vaccine for this one.

              The government cannot have the population in lockdown in December regardless of the cost. The plan will be something like let 100,000 people a week catch it (5000 need intensive care) and once enough people have caught it and have recovered those people can work and provide care for those who haven’t caught it yet. Once about 60% is infected herd immunity

              I have flights booked for December from a different deal and I’m not concerned at all. Just make sure you book with the airline direct not through some shady mob that won’t offer a credit if life as we know it ends for good.

              • Turd on 03/04/2020 - 09:27

                @stirlo: 5000 in ICU? At once?

                • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 09:34
                  +1

                  @Turd: Yep, might even need to be more. Obviously it takes time to build the capacity up but you can’t confine people to their homes forever. After a while mental health and domestic violence would cost more lives than the virus would. That or we go like Spain and just let everyone die.

                    @stirlo: How many ICU beds do we have in Australia? Can we build more? Why arent we doing this now?

                    • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 09:37

                      @Turd: If the government is already spending 200 billion on job support I’d be disappointed if the health departments weren’t doing exactly this. I generally trust the government so I’m sure plans are being drawn up now.

                      @Turd: Bro we don't have as many cases in OZ yet. Even though they ordered 5k Ventis, it's more of a proactive measure.

      • Turd on 03/04/2020 - 08:11

        And sure cancel the flight then complain about how said travel website charged you a fee and or never refunded your money.

        "No refunds will be issued for unused travel services or any unused portion of the services."

      • thedriver on 03/04/2020 - 08:48

        Fake news: at this point in time, there is no belief that you can get COVID19 and then become immune to the strain. This theory has already been challenged.

        A vaccination is the only way atm.

        • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 09:25
          +2

          This reads like a copy paste from Alex Jones or Donald Trump.

          A vaccine works by exposing you to an inactive/weaker strain of the virus. If the virus mutates fast enough that catching it and recovering will not give you immunity then a vaccine is essentially impossible.

            +1

            @stirlo: So is the best method right now to infect everyone in the world? For "immunity" regardless of what happens? I mean our economy depends on it right?

            • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 09:57
              +1

              @Turd: Not sure why you replied off topic to my post above correcting @thedriver about how vaccines work but I'm bored so I'll reply…

              Thats the only way to defeat it. It's in a million people and the surfaces they've touched now. It's impossible to prevent it infecting most people in the world. The only question is how that happens.

              The best solution is to infect everyone with an inactive/weak version of it (also known as a vaccine).

              If a vaccine is not possible then next best is to infect those with the strong likelyhood of survival (the young and healthy) first. Treat the small percentage that fall seriously ill and once a large group of people are already infected and recovered they can care for the vulnerable until herd immunity kicks in.

              Managing the infection rate (flattening the curve) is exactly what the government is doing right now.

              • Turd on 03/04/2020 - 10:00

                @stirlo: RIP old people and those young with medical issues.

                • stirlo on 03/04/2020 - 10:11

                  @Turd: Um they continue to stay at home as they are now? The government provides contactless delivery of essentials. The important thing to note is currently every person is a possible carrier and any contact the vulnerable have with others is a risk. Once people are recovered they can safely assist the vulnerable without risk of infecting them. Unlike now where a single sneeze at the wrong time could kill them.

                  • Turd on 03/04/2020 - 10:13

                    @stirlo: Isnt it best to just herd immunity it? So that people can go back to work? Thats what you suggested.

                    So thus RIP old and those young with medical issues.

                      @Turd: Herd immunity is not mutually exclusive with stay at home guidance.

                      Once the systems are in place to manage a higher number of infections the restrictions will be lessened (especially for those less vulnerable) and herd immunity will be achieved in a way similar to how I described above

                      • ja912son on 03/04/2020 - 11:48

                        @stirlo: Herd immunity was adopted at the beginning in UK and soon criticized and abandoned by UK.

                        Have a look at this video. Richard Horton is the chief editor of the Lancet

                        @stirlo: The theory sounds good, but even younger ones are going into ICU, the only difference is that they come out the other side vs the older who can die.

                        So the figures we really dont have is what percent of younger ones dont require ICU/Ventilators and how long they dont require it for.

                        For all cases if you get it bad, its a very painful experience. Some say more like malaria than the flu.

            @stirlo: Currently, there is no evidence that those who have recovered are immune either temporarily or permanently, and if they are temporarily immune there is no evidence to suggest for how long, (weeks or months).

      • jerrysfang on 03/04/2020 - 10:16
        +1

        The problem there are confirmed cases that cured patients tested positive again after couple of weeks and re-infected with the virus. There are information circulated that this virus presents the sequence of HIV. So the "developed immunity" assumption is just too risky.

      If you think we will be in a state of travel restriction by then we might as well just pack up all industry and close shop.
      Just go back to producing everything locally and having no contact with anyone outside our homelands.

    I think the error is that the price is too high😀

  • JoeyJoeJoe on 03/04/2020 - 08:06

    I don’t think that this is an error fare. There have been sales with these sort of price in the recent past. So with C19 present, these prices are to be expected. Good deal nevertheless.

    You should probably give some credit to the source of this deal, OP.

    • Insurance policies aren't covering cancellations anymore for COVID-19 reasons or related impact. Any cancellation refunds are likely to be at the liberty of airline you book with and their policy may change as per their convenience.
    • Consider to pay only with a credit card instead of cash deposits. But be ready for credit card transaction disputes as likely many airlines won't survive and bookings will be void.
    • The national carriers like Air Canada, Qantas etc. are at least a safer bet as they will either be bought out, sell a stake or get government bail-out package however. At least they will be operational post this pandemic.
      Good luck!

    Might be useful to people trying to get back still as well?

    But these are return flights, so you would go straight back?

    • RockyRaccoon on 03/04/2020 - 08:40

      I think they are saying you can not use the return leg, and its still cheaper than a oneway flight, which arent often discounted. For those based in Canada but stuck here

    Buy now, later saying, “i have to gooo coz the fares are non refundable. Taxpayers pay for my evacuation flight, covid treatment or hotel isolation anyway, so i dont care.”

    No guarantee that the airline will honour the tickets.I have a mate stuck in South Afica who had a return flight booking with Qantas…..they're ignoring his pleas as we speak.
