Just glad there are no US flights into the UK, have a look at flight radar and see how many flights are going on there.
No the UK has not locked down the boarders thankfully unlike a few other countries. That’s just counterproductive and causes panic. planes are as much a risk as any public transportation and it’s all about hygiene and cleanliness. The virus is NOT airborne, it is passed on through droplets or contaminated surfaces. That’s why I’d some is I’ll they must not travel. I believe many airlines flying are spacing out passengers too.
Personally can’t wait to get on a plane and fly home to Edi from Tokyo but all in good time once I know my team is ok here. Just hope Qatar keep flying long enough, or is JAL to London then.....train maybe.....
