Remember this quote I made back in March 2020. It seems the US and maybe the UK did things too late regarding the Lockdown ? We should have learnt something by watching the rest of the World, particularly Europe but did'nt.
Having looked tonight at a few flight tracking programmes, the average amount of aircraft flying in the UK was no more than 50 ! A fair number of them were Cargo flights and Emergency helicopters, many overflights and a few light aircraft. Scotland where I live had none for most of the day. WELL DONE UK
Then I looked at the US and I know its a far bigger country, there were on average 1,500 ? Plenty of regional airliners. From the head of the country to the general public I don't think many of them really get it. Plenty going into New York and Florida. With 40,000 deaths and growing, when will they get it and stop protesting to end lockdown. I am just glad I do not live there and have a Scottish Government who are protecting their people by not ending lockdown too soon. After all said, lives are very important, finance will recover - it always does in time, once you die who cares about finance !!
