Let's bring things back on track and rather than discuss our varying personal opinions on the subject, actually discuss the topic that we have indeed gone off track on: what future travel looks like, whether we like it/agree with it or not.

Another article has come out from New Zealand media discussing this issue with The International Air Transport Association. It says the same things as we've been recently discussing on this forum: if rapid testing becomes reliable, low-cost, efficient & mass-produced, then air travel can return to a mid-ground between normalcy & restricted travel: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/ind...nt-experts-say

One interesting part of the article is this:

To get to such a middle ground would require widespread availability of rapid test kits, that could be performed with high accuracy, low cost and without encroaching on medical laboratory testing resources, he said.

"Already there are positive signals coming out that such rapid testing is around the corner."
