We have to remember that many Eastern European nations have such low numbers because they closed their borders keeping the virus out while we kept ours open.
The airlines and business leaders that are moaning now about UK quarantine would have moaned even more if we acted like those enlightened nations when U.K. cases were low. New Zealand led the way and is seen as a success but if we were as tough as them and and acted as early as them then the likes of O’Leary would have called it an over reaction. Also New Zealand still has closed borders to keep the virus out which was introduced mid March.
Back to Luton, today there are 3 departures within 40 minutes and in the afternoon 2 departures 10 minutes apart. I would have thought even those departures are risky due to the inability to social distance in the departure lounge but that is nothing compared to sitting on an aircraft.
