RE:RE:CANADA NOW IN 1ST PLACE WITH G20Pino, your misrepresenting the data. The Indian variant is worth noting, and the 30% level of protection is worth noting. However, you fail to mention that the objective of the first shot is to avoid serious illness and hospitalisation, and the first dose accomplishes that end goal. As it pertains to the Indian variant specifically, the 2nd dose boosts immunity significantly. But this is where you also fail to provide accurate data. Canada vaccine rollout had gone from weak to stunningly good. In all likelihood, Canadians will be fully vaccinated by the end of July. Additionally, post attention to the bookings. People book IN ADVANCE. So while the may not want to specifically travel this summer, Fall and Winter bookings are already ramping up in a very big way. The market typically responds now to what is expected in 3 to 4 months. This is why there is so much potential here, and now, for a very strong and significant shares price rise.

Here's the rub , people with their first vaccination are only about 30% protected , that means that while we all wait for our first or second shot , which won't be completed by the fall at the earliest, we're sitting ducks. Now, who wants to take advantage of cheap flights across Canada or who has booked a trip to Italy ? That's right , no one. It's just not worth the risk right now, I've asked all my friends over the past couple days if they are planning on traveling this year and all of them resoundingly said No! They all want to travel, but no one will risk it with the uncertainty at this time, so as much as SS touts that travel is imminent and everything is rosey, the reality is opposite. Next year looks vastly better than anytime this year , Please ask your friends and family honestly if they plan on traveling this year ?
I think you'll find the answer is contrary to what SS is posting .
