The Air Travel Bubble Hypothesis 

Every time two countries announce an air travel bubble, one of them will see a spike in corona cases closer to the flight date, dashing hopes of paid travellers, who would nevertheless be consoled that they would be given first priority for the next fight if they were not to cancel their booking.
On the one occasion when the air travel bubble hypothesis was apparently proved wrong, the decades-old Soviet plane that was carrying a few dozen Russian mercenaries and terrorists was never heard again after take-off—had the ATB hypothesis struck in a more deadly form?

Travestshamockery 

When something is a downright travesty and further, downright mockery.
When the Condor and the Pangolin embarked on their domestic partnership, it was a Travestshamockery, when the Condor chose to always use his name first (ie on the doorbell to their apartment and in their kids' hyphenated last names.

Because the Pangolin was never fully acknowledged in this downright travesty wherein he was habitually mocked, the relationship, thus, is a sham.

Travel-Zombie syndrome (TZS) 

Travel-Zombie syndrome (TZS), a type of social disorder, is a potentially disabling condition. People with TZS are plagued by an assortment of unpleasant symptoms that cause the afflicted to resemble the walking deceased. The social and professional ramifications of TZS can range from ruined business opportunities to damaged friendships and inappropriate altercations with strangers.

Symptoms:

- Unpleasant disposition
- Bloodshot eyes
- Reduced cognitive abilities
- Uncontrollable drooling
- Garbled speech
- Irrational outbursts
- Chronic neck fatigue

Very little research is available on TZS but some physicians and most flight attendants agree, TZS is very real. TZS is usually caused by long periods of travel in uncomfortable conditions with little or no sleep. In some studies, poorly designed travel pillows were noted to be a major contributing factor to the onset of TZS.

The only known treatment for TZS is the Travel Halo, www.TheTravelHalo.com.

Airport Security: "Sounds like TZS"
