It will be of no benefit to anyone if a one-eyed approach results in a second peak of infection. I assume you would also criticise those aviation professionals who drew attention to the shortcomings of the certification of the B738MAX as in doing so they were harming the economics of the industry.
No not at all, and that's a totally different kettle of fish entirely and I don't really understand the relevance of the max In this discussion.
I agree that a balanced view is required, however that isn't happening its all negativity, primarily from people who have no real ties to the industry. We all know its a balancing act of getting the industry moving and preventing another mass outbreak. Those who cant/don't want to fly then fine thats their choice. But at present those who are able and willing to fly dont have that same choice at present.
