So the Government Chief medical officer has said "I think we are all going to have to accept that air travel is all but ended for most of us for a very long time"

Now he is also an expert on Aviation too ! Without getting too political there are far too many government ministers and so called experts telling us different stories. Example traffic light system to try and get us out of Lockdown then Boris states that wont happen, lockdown will go on for as long as it takes. They are scared of a second peak - well what about all the countries around the world and those closer to home in Europe who are easing Lockdown ? Are they scared of a second peak seems not. Just UK being overcautious as usual. Then there is the PPE scandal putting NHS workers/Key workers lives at risk. Testing.... figures keep getting put out there and not met. Constant rumours of a vaccine, when one becomes available I think it will be the only way out of this. And no, as Asturias56 says "we just accept that older people are going to die sooner" We should not accept that - why are nurses and doctors putting thier lives at risk trying to save them !!!! because life matters whatever your age, gender or race.

Far too many, so called experts seem to have crystal balls and are predicting the future. Hopefully a vaccine will come along before the death of Air Transport
