There's uncertainty about which airlines will survive, how many people will want to fly after a pandemic, and the what kind of new precautions airlines may take in future.
John Strickland, an independent air transport consultant, told Business Insider that one thing is for sure: "Aviation is going to be smaller."
Liberal aviation restrictions, plus an abundance of airlines competing with each other — far more than in the US — resulted in what are often very low prices. With Ryanair, outside of peak times, flights across Europe rarely cost more than €100 ($109), and its sales sees flights for as little as €9.99, €5, or even €0.01, for flights.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Every upcoming phone available this spring and summer of 2020 - CNET
Notable updates to the Fold could include a glass display instead of plastic and a bigger internal screen. Some rumors even suggest it will come with an S Pen stylus. Still, the coronavirus pandemic could push back the launch, and Samsung's still having trouble making enough Galaxy Z Flips for potential buyers.

The phones will also come packed with other top-shelf specs, including the latest Snapdragon 865 chipset, 90Hz displays, a 4,500-mAh battery and a 30-watt wireless charging option. Xiaomi says it'll release the phones in European countries including Spain, Italy and France in April, but stopped short of announcing any details of a possible US launch or release. In Europe, the Mi 10 will start at 799 euros, with the 10 Pro starting at 999 euros.
5 Effective Low-Budget Marketing Strategies for Startups
Startups operate under extremely tight budgets, which makes it almost impossible for them to set aside a marketing budget. With their tight budgets, they have to pay employees and rent, buy raw materials and cater to their huge overhead costs. Ignoring marketing and advertising becomes an easier option for them.
But then, without vigorous marketing strategies, startups do not stand any chance of growth or even staying afloat in today’s extremely competitive market. If you don’t market your products or services, you might not even have any revenue to budget for in a few short months to come. Advertising is more of a mandatory investment for the success of your startup than it is superfluous.
Red-light camera violations down in Chicago during COVID-19 pandemic - Chicago Sun-Times
"At this time, we are seeing a nationwide trend of fewer citations overall, driven by the lower amount of traffic on the roads," said Neil Franz, a spokesman for Conduent State & Local Solutions Inc., the vendor that operates Chicago's red-light cameras.
SPRINGFIELD — Like many Chicagoans and other home-bound folks across the state, red-light cameras must be getting bored.
In Chicago, red-light violations were down 45% in March compared to the month before, according to city figures. And compared to March 2019, red-light violations in Chicago were down 54%, numbering just 19,840 in March 2020 compared to 42,812 in March 2019.

Our income has fallen dramatically since sheltering at home. We need help to work our way through the next few months. Can you help?
I am very sorry that you can't do your job from home and are under financial pressure. Don't forget that if you were furloughed or laid off, you probably qualify for unemployment benefits (federal and state) to get you through this. If you are a small business owner, benefits are likely available to you as well.
Layoffs, pay cuts loom as Schlumberger plans to cut up to 30 percent from budget -
Schlumberger, the largest oilfield service company in the world, plans to cut up to 30 percent from its budget as crumbling oil prices and the coronavirus pandemic weigh on the industry.
The company also expects to layoff workers and reduce compensation as part of restructuring efforts in North America, CEO Olivier Le Peuch said at the Scotia Howard Weil Energy Conference in New Orleans.
The magnitude of the budget cuts depends on changes to customers' plans, Le Peuch said. A full 30 percent cut would leave the company with a $1.2 billion capital budget for the year. The company spent $1.7 billion on capital projects in 2019.
