Baker a little bit of breaking news to get to
from across the pond concerning travel this summer. What
do we know? This just coming in just a
few moments ago from the EU jail, they're announcing
plans to roll out coronavirus passes. This will ultimately
allow its 450 million residents to travel freely across the
27 country block. This summer. The past is
being called a green certificate. This will indicate whether
a citizen has either been vaccinated, tested or has
recovered from Covid 19 in recent weeks. This comes
as vaccinations continue to ramp up across the region with
the EU Commission had expecting to have 70% of adults
fully vaccinated by the end of the summer, and
this has led to a lot of conversation here in
the United States. Jill, will we see a
lot of airlines start to create this sort of vaccination
passport almost per se, which would allow you basically
to show to airlines that you've been fully vaccinated.
I don't know how we're going to do that.
If Americans won't even wear a mask, um,
to travel or so I can't imagine that that's gonna
fly unintended Delta's CEO, though, saying that he
does think you will have to show some type of
vaccination certification for traveling abroad, which is interesting.
I don't You're You're absolutely right. I don't know
how this is all gonna work. It's hard enough
for these airlines to get people to even wear a
mask on a flight. So I don't even know
how you're gonna be able to get people to prove
through a passport that they've had it. And even
if they didn't get it or they're not gonna be
able to fly as a result of this because,
you know, 30% of the country doesn't want to
get the vaccine. So I don't know how this
is gonna work, either. Um, And realistically
, airlines probably want that business, so I don't
know if they're going to enforce it. Um,
Andy Slavitt, who's helping with the vaccines for the
government, saying he doesn't think the U. S
government should really be involved with creating, uh,
something with this information. Um, so I don't
think it's gonna be honor code, which we know
how that goes. Oh, yeah, Yeah.
That has gone swimmingly. Well, for all of
us so far, hasn't it?
