The whole thing is stupid. In the uk the infection rate is 517 per 100,000 and where I live as of this morning 572. Why is everyone so fearful? The government quarantine policy any country with more than 20 cases per 100,000 must be quarantined is protecting nobody and damaging the wider economy, not just aviation. By that logic the whole of the uk should be quarantined. Government policy is driven by the media and nervous nellies. One of my parents is shielding and rightly so, however they are not demanding that everyone else shield too.
should I go to work tomorrow or quarantine? After all cases are above 20 per 100,000. By the same logic as a male under 50 with no underlying health conditions I am more likely to be killed driving to work than by Covid. Perhaps I should quarantine my car until that statistic improves too.
To continue the same response now more is known is only going to do great economic and social hardship.
