You do realise 2000 cases per day means one in every 34,000 people in this country is getting the virus. That would be one person in 188 full A320 sized aircraft. Given that the number will inevitably decrease in the next five weeks, I’d imagine countries like Spain and Greece who are heavily reliant on British tourists to keep their economies afloat would take those odds.
