Examples of RECOVERY in a Sentence
Secretary Carson has tested positive for the coronavirus. Secretary Carson is in good spirits and feels fortunate to have access to effective therapeutics which aid and markedly speed Secretary Carson recovery.
The biggest problem has been the recovery – last summer, airports just couldn’t cope with the bounceback in passenger numbers, airlines and airports were unwilling or unable to resource back-up in late 2021 and early 2022 after cutting their costs, and that’s what caused the summer of chaos. There weren’t enough baggage handlers. Weren’t enough security screeners. In some cases there weren’t enough pilots.
We do not see any lasting potential for these sectors to outperform and believe any recovery might be short-lived, the trend of earnings estimates is declining strongly, relative valuation versus the overall market is still very high and a lasting trend reversal in commodity prices is not in sight. We recommend remaining underweight on commodity stocks.
Let us wish our hardworking minister for health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu, a speedy recovery from the virus, which he contracted in the line of duty.
We’re cautiously optimistic that demand will increase as vaccinations roll out across the world, and we look forward to restoring all affected pilots back to full flying status as the recovery continues.
