> International flights from the US are looking to basically be nonexistent until there's a vaccine.

But there's likely going to be a vaccine in less than a year. It will take several years to know to what extent it's really safe or effective, but people who travel a lot for business can get it right away if they want.

"Likely" based on what? And does an unsafe vaccine (whatever that could be) really qualify as a vaccine? What would make it something a person who travels a lot for business would want to risk?

[Alex3917]

Likely based on the fact that they're already in mass production, so as long as they don't seem to be immediately killing people they're going to get released even without longterm data.

And someone who would travel for business if there were a vaccine at least has a reason to be an early adopter of the vaccine, whereas for someone who never leaves their house anyway it would make more sense just to wait for other people to find out whether it's safe and effective or not.

[rhizome]

Sure, but (and?) given the way things have been going here in the US, I can't think of a reason not to wait for other people to find out!

Oxford vaccine is supposed to be done by September...
