Once at the holiday resort they will be in holiday mode where the mindset will be that they have escaped the virus. Lifts will be shared and the people of many nations will freely mix in the evenings in bars and restaurants. Then it is back to home with a queue at check-in where due to terminal constraints social distancing is not possible, back on the bus to the aircraft, back sitting in a metal tube for 2 hours, back to the baggage belt.

What could possibly go wrong. The question is what is more risky, the holiday or the previous or following week?
I think we gather by now your stance on this,so here is mine.The virus has blown itself out. Over 3 weeks have passed since the 2nd spike brigade were telling us all about the packed beaches in England South coast would have us all back in ICU. Nothing happened. Get it into your thick heads the Lurgy is gone.
