I saw an AZ A330 operating the afternoon Rome-London yesterday but while our government seems mind blowingly negligent in allowing Iran Air and all kinds of flights from China and NY , the AZ issue isnt that bad as huge number of Italian cases are in the north.

Like others i do not understand why we have no screening , temperature checking at LHR or elsewhere .are we just a lazy nation when it comes to managing large numbers of people? Same logic about not closing stock exchanges around the world-they have suspended trading over much less serious issues.

Of course those flights that do operate are getting all sorts of direct approaches to LHR but I suspect many crews would give a lot to hear a NATS controller say pickup the hold at XXX expect 20 minute delay once again
