The issue is not the death rate to you but the risk of infecting others so I suggest all that matters is the 1 in 850. What we have seen in hospitals is that people think the risk is low but then we find the incidence is 15% because they have been together day after day. We have no data on flight training but if they do create similar clusters.....Anyhow, whilst it is legal for the instructor and the military are exempt, it remains illegal for the student so not I suggest something we should support
People like you are the problem. they make up the rules to suit themselves and you will support it all the way. Anyone can come up with a bunch of statistics just like you have done, does not mean diddly squit. As for the military being exempt that is even more ridiculous. The Red Arrows are a flying display team, they are allowed yet civilians are not, this just shows what a nonsense the whole thing is. Why are they practising anyway if it all goes to plan and we are not allowed to be in a crowd ever again (the new normal that they talk about) then why do we need aircraft displays?
