In the eyes of Bloomberg the return to the good old times ‘before it all went to hell’ is the only measure of success : “ November’s No.1, the UAE has basically normalized back to pre-pandemic life: Property sales are at a decade high in its largest city of Dubai, restaurants are full, and the Expo—which is running until March—has attracted two million visitors since it started in October.”
But as much as i agree on the false equivalence of flight travel and success story, one the main characteristics of the pre-pandemic world was not only global circulation of goods but also global circulation of people. Students, scientific community members and professionals starting to travel again is, i hope, a good measure of a healing world.
