In France, health minister Olivier Veran said people travelling into the country, including French citizens returning home, will be placed in a 14-day quarantine as part of new extended proposals to limit the spread of the new coronavirus.

The Government is "actively looking" at holding people who arrive from abroad in quarantine to help control the spread of coronavirus, Grant Shapps has said.

The Transport Minister told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that it is important that the social distancing "sacrifices" made by Brits "are matched by anybody who comes to this country."

Buffett will use his cash pile to get incredible deals with distressed companies.
Just as 2008.
He made a killing providing cash at high coupon convertible to shares at depressed prices.

Cash is king for a while.

Interesting that he has dumped the whole of his airline holdings, almost certainly at huge loss.

As O'Leary of Ryan Air said recently, how can a free market privately owned airline compete with loss making, part nationalised flag carriers?

Probably created the Dow rise.. to exit positions Crafty old man :-)

Astor, not if you live in Devon or Cornwall, they may be worrying about lack of business in tourist hotspots, but then they complain of clogged up roads in summer, and Gordon Ramsey and his Uber wealthy pals pricing the locals out the market. Would they all not be better if they incorporated a local council goods and services tax on visitors, and non-indigenous Kernows!

Yes, motor homes and holiday parks in devon, this the way to go

Loganair try and get it correct.

He was selling weeks ago but now has sold out hope you inderstand the difference.

Warren Buffett, the legendary American investor, has sold his firm’s entire holdings in the four major US airlines, warning that the “world has changed” for the aviation industry because of the coronavirus crisis.

Please do your own research as always.

Buffet selling his airline stocks is old news, I posted Buffet was selling some 3 weeks ago.

[spacedust] 03/5/2020 10:44

Correction one as ment to say 80p may appear a little expensive in the not too distant future Price now 215p

[spacedust] 03/5/2020 10:34

Holidays at home is boring. Going Broad is awesome and will resume Albeit no time soon. Could be yrs.

The news of Buffett selling all the us airline stocks he held will send shockwaves. He held 10% in 4 huge airlines. He knows more about it.....

80p may appear a bargain in the not too distant future. Price now 215p

I think buffet is spot on. I can see the world realising it no longer needs air travel. Why pollute the planet and put yourself at risk when you can teleconference and support your own by taking holidays at home?

[tfergi] 03/5/2020 09:08

I can't see how BA will be forced to change anything. Demand has fallen through the floor and it won't recover for 3 years. They don't need the same amount of man power that they did. Simple. They have to react for the longer term.Buffet bailing out of all US airlines is very bearish I'm afraid and once 2 nd quarter results are out there will be a real realising of the scale of the problems.

He knows airlines are the worst investment ever, Coronavirus, unions, currency, oil price all these factors.No one in their right mind will get on a plane until vaccine found.

[sr2day] 03/5/2020 08:08

maybe now some will realise that the game is over at least for the foreseeable future.

[bluearmy1] 03/5/2020 07:33

The news of Buffett selling all the us airline stocks he held does not bode well.

[amaretto1] 03/5/2020 06:53
