No social distancing, no hand sanitizer, no face masks on the plane and passengers told to wash their hands on landing ?
What was the airline thinking about, they will screw it up for all others ?
Sorry but I have had enough of all this doom and gloom. Firstly look at the facts and figures re cases of Covid19. Most people don’t even realise they have the virus. The groups of people who are at risk mainly the elderly and people with underlying health issues. Plans need to be put in place to look after these groups, this virus is not going away anytime soon. Plans need to be put in place with the virus in every day life, just like the flu or measles or any other disease. More people die annually from malaria than Covid 19 from far fewer countries than have affected by Covid19. We don’t stop travelling to countries with Malaria or shut down their economies because someone might catch Malaria.
Re travelling if you don’t want to sit next to someone stay at home it’s your choice nobody is forcing anyone to travel. Borders need to be opened up and planes need to start flying ASAP. Otherwise you are going to end up with ruined economy’s. Unemployment will be higher than it has been for decades. The state will be supporting all the extra unemployed adding to the already massive state payments which we can ill afford.
