This is a massive headache for the UK aviation industry because it’s not just us suddenly quarantining it’ll be others quarantining us. Not to mention who would want to travel here. It’s quite enlightening looking at how other countries press are reporting us, both left and right wing.
You'd believe reading this forum and other forums of social media, that it would be nothing but instant death just to set foot outside of the home. As for the foreign press, you'll find that their default settings are: 1) Be critical of the US and everything they do. 2) Be critical of the UK and everything they do. This has always been the way. I guess it deflects from the reality of their own issues.
