        The Thursday tumble   The TSA says that 1,826,310 people passed through airport security checkpoints on Thursday. That's 71.3% of 2019 volume on a similar day and by far the slowest Thursday of the month.
        Hotel fails   Nationwide hotel occupancy fell to 63.7% for the week ended August 21. STR, the industry recordkeepers, explains that it "reflect[s] seasonal demand patterns and concerns around the pandemic."
        Einstein in South Dakota   You know what Einstein said about insanity, right? South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem apparently doesn't. After approving the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally last year and seeing the Coronavirus rate skyrocket, Noem approved the rally again this year. The result? Cases in South Dakota have quintupled. NBC News has the details.
        Europe's summer places   Airline traffic in Greece on August 25 was just 6% below 2019, says Eurocontrol, which runs Europe's air traffic control system. Other countries fared less well.

        Canada coordinates   Air Canada has ordered all employees to get vaccinated by October 30. That is no surprise given Canada's aggressive federal response to vaccine mandates. The official Air Canada announcement is here.
        Texas two-step   Never let it be said that Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has had Covid himself, isn't intent on catering to anti-vax wackos in the Republican Party. A Texas law bars counties and school boards from mandating vaccines with emergency-use approval. But now that the Pfizer vaccine has gotten permanent approval and some Texas school districts mandated shots, Abbott issued an executive order banning those mandates. TheHill.com has the here.
        Happier hotels   Canada's hotel industry registered a 54.5% average occupancy rate in July, the best monthly performance since February, 2020.

        Going nowhere   For the week ended August 22, Eurocontrol says there were 172,463 flights in Europe's skies. That's a few more flights than last week, but only 70.1% of comparative 2019 traffic, which is a slight decline.
        June was busting out all over   Flights operated in June, 2021, reached 83% of pre-pandemic levels, according to the Transportation Department. Systemwide, 564,583 flights operated in June compared with 679,802 flights operated in June, 2019.
        As we were just saying ...   Just moments after the FDA gave permanent approval to the Pfizer vaccine, New York City mandated that all public school teachers and other staffers must be vaccinated.
