What if they, like the airport do not do any checks or do not clean properly anything you touch could be infected. I just do not get the mentality of some people who are so desperate to go on holiday knowing the risk is there and putting themselves and their family at risk.
And for FFMan yes there are risks in all aspects of life, but we do not have to accept them or put ourselves in harms way. If risks are acceptable maybe we should go on holiday to a war torn country !!! But we dont do we, why Oh yes the risk of getting killed ? COVID is a silent and unseen killer that could be right next to you at any time ?
The chance of death to most of us via Covid is so small if your not very old or in the vulnerable categories.
School age kids 1 in 3.5 Million have caught and died from Covid in the UK for example.
The average female 16-45 with no underlying conditions 1 in 350,000 according to a study last week. Many more things can get and kill you before Covid 19 and that is where its about managing the risk to your personal circumstance. If your fit and healthy you should be able to get back to living and re-building the economy whilst taking sensible precautions to limit the spread where possible, bearing in mind the infections are now far down on the peak.
