Revenge Travel

Quarantine causing millions to stay inside created some pent up energy. Once allowing everyone to roam freely many wanted to go travel and explore. This influx of people traveling was hard for airports to handle after having to lay off so many for the lack of air travel need.

Unthought consequences

"The number of airline pilots and engineers decreased from 84,520 in May 2019 to

81,310 in May 2021, an almost 4% decrease, according to the US Bureau of Labor

Statistics. And the country will need more than 14,000 new pilots each year for the

next decade, according to the bureau"

Regulation disagreements

Directly after covid, instability in the airports was extremely high as no one could agree what regulations should be in place. strong arguments were made as to why mask still should be worn as well as why they shouldn't. Overall these disagreements just slowed the return to normal air travel.

As a consequence to the pandemic the United states life expectancy decreased 2 years. This is important to note because in Europe it bounced back to its normal length, in the US it unfortunately did not.

Death numbers

Covid itself caused more deaths than other catastrophic events. Examples being Hurricane Katarina and World War 2. It was also reported more death in two weekdays then on 9/11 attacks. When put into perspective to these events it really shows how many lives were lost.

It also potentially explains why regulation disagreements where such a huge thing. Could stricter regulations have prevented more?

Unthought consequences

Over 9 million were left after the pandemic mourning the loss of a loved one. Over 150,000 children were stuck without a parent

Economical status

Scholars think if healthcare was more easily accessable to poorer lower classes less deaths would have issued. Specifically for the colored minority, whose lives were lost at a higher rate during the pandemic. This has caused a push in activism to give more support to these communities.

Black children were twice as likely to lose a parent then their white counterparts.

Indigenous children were five times as likely.

Unemployment

As a result of the covid-19 recession a high number of the working class lost their job. Inequalities began to show through when statistics of how Brown and Black people were losing there jobs at higher rates. Looking closer, the already lower income minorities took the largest hits in economic status and loss of jobs.

Black owned business's

Historically, Black unemployment has been already double white unemployment. The pandemic only worsened it. Black business were hit over 4% harder in 3 sectors then other races.

Pay Gaps

stats shows that besides being more likely to not be hired, colored people are more likely to face pay gaps as well. In 2000 it was shown black men were paid around 73 cents to the white mans dollar. Even worse for black women, who were paid 64 cents to the white mans dollar.

Government funding

One of the greatest downfalls of the pandemic was lack of government funding. Once out of money for tests, treatment, and aid individuals were forced to wait for congress to allocate more.
