It is unlikely we will ever know if there are additional casualties as a result of such selfish actions in the last month
So..... given the loads on many commercial flights into the UK were prior to all this kicking off just how easy do you think it would be for every Mr and Mrs Bloggs, perhaps on multi week holidays, to change travel plans and get seats on an earlier flight back to the UK?

Not everybody has been selfish, some people have been left stranded despite their best effort to get home quite some time ago...
