Fact Check: Trump did NOT urge people to inject disinfectants to thwart coronavirus hoax alert.

No, indeed he didn't. But the question asked:
And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside?
is already beyond dumb when DHS Under Secretary for Science and Technology William Bryan explicitly mentioned that bleach and isopropyl alcohol kill the virus in 5 minutes and 30 seconds respectively. So, no Donald, there is no way you can inject bleach or isopropyl alcohol into a human body.

But hey, the Trumpster Army around the world is yet again downplaying another stupidity of their Hero.

Yup. I still cannot understand how it is possible, but...
It would have been a solution if his believers would have tried it themselves.

Daily review:

Air Nostrum closes without an agreement the negotiation of the second ERTE due to coronavirus. The airline proposed a new temporary adjustment for its 1,439 workers until the end of the year, although it agreed to reduce it to September 2020.

Air Tahiti Nui, Air Tahiti and Air Caledonie issued a statement, jointly seeking just over €1 billion in state support.

ANA Holdings
said it would not release an earnings forecast for the full year amid the pandemic that has caused an unprecedented slump in air travel and could further stagnate the global economy.

Austrian Airlines announces the conversion of the first of two B777 started at Austrian Technik in Vienna. The removal of 270 of the 306 passenger seats from all travel classes has started.

Avianca Holdings asked the government for financing for the airline as it sees no other alternative to face the crisis. The carrier is willing to repay a loan, if needed.

Bangkok Airwayswill resume domestic flight operations from 15 May 2020 onwards.

Boeing will resume B787 operations at Boeing South Carolina, with most teammates returning on 03-04 May 2020. The return includes all operations that were temporarily suspended on 08 April 2020.

Boliviana de Aviacion
reported a loss of about US$30 million, a debt that is compounded by the leases that must be paid from 14 aircraft that are not operating.

Copa Airlines
said it may not have enough liquidity to survive the coronavirus crisis despite cutting costs. Under a conservative estimate it could burn through almost 70% of its available cash by 2020 end.

IATA called on regulators to take urgent action to help civil aviation operate seamlessly and safely between states during the pandemic, as well as to help facilitate the restart when the virus is contained.

LOT is in talks with Boeing) to modify its B787 jets into temporary cargo carrier, in a move that could help to narrow losses from the crisis.

NokScoot has extended his flight suspension to 31 May 2020.

Porter Airlines will be extending its flight suspension by another four weeks to 01 June 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic.

Singapore Airlines has parked four of its A380s and three B777-200ERs at Alice Springs in Australia for storage, adding to two A320s from subsidiary Scoot.

Sunwing Travel Group announced that it will bring 1,800 employees back on the payroll through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program.

SWISS expected to be granted US$1.5 billion in state aid, in the form of bank loans guaranteed by the federal coffers. The repayment will depend on future profits.

Thai Airways International will not get a loan guarantee from the government, who says the assistance would breach loan requirements for state enterprises because the carrier has recorded net losses for three years in a row.

Argentina banned all commercial flight ticket sales until September 2020, one of the toughest travel bans in the world, prompting an industry outcry that the new measure will put too much strain on airlines and airports.

Very true. Some posts over here are completely ridiculous and have nothing to do with aviation.

Why didn't the CEOs of Air Antwerp and Air Belgium, and those of ANR, CRL, LGG, OST sign this letter? Then it would really be representing the whole Belgian aviation industry.

It's not only BRU that needs to be saved, but the entire Belgian aviation industry.

Maybe because the regional airports are state-owned airports? ("state-owned": by the regional governments).

Following your criteria SN isn't more of a Belgian company. You can consider an airline Belgian when most of its activity are in Belgium, AOC & aircraft registration are in Belgium, most jobs in Belgium, enz.

Who cares if it is owned by a foreign group? At least I don't. As long as the state aid isn't spread within the group, but stays within the Belgian branch.

The explanations of the Swiss Government:
  • The liquidity needs of Swiss and Edelweiss are estimated to be around CHF 1.5 billion up to the end of 2020. This liquidity shortfall is to be made up by a consortium of banks with the help of COVID plus credits. 85% of the funds drawn down, but no more than CHF 1.275 billion, should be secured by federal guarantees. The conditions for the granting of federal assistance announced on 8 April 2020 can be met. A holding in Swiss or Edelweiss is not envisaged, as the success of Swiss and Edelweiss is essentially linked to their significant integration into Lufthansa Group. However, the loans will be secured by Swiss and Edelweiss shares.
  • easyJet Switzerland should be able to cover its liquidity needs via its parent company. Therefore, the conditions for a subsidiary federal commitment are not met at the moment. As its turnover is less than CHF 500 million, easyJet Switzerland also has the option of applying for a COVID bridging credit.
https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/easy ... itzerland/

But yes, indeed, the 500 million CHF turnover limit seems to have been selected so as to include SWISS and Edelweiss and to exclude easyJet Switzerland.
