Regardless of how you feel about the current situation, airlines, starting with JetBlue, have started reporting declines in bookings in the last week and a half due to the rise in numbers across many states, and are starting to make corresponding changes to their schedules. This past weekend, for example, Delta has cut JFK-MCO from 4x daily to 3x daily and LGA-MCO from 4x daily to 2x daily for August.

And FL reported over 11450 new cases yesterday, which is even more than the one day peak that NY reported back in April!
