Well thanks for your reasoned comments Racedo.
33 million cases worldwide:

An estimated 103,600 people (95% credible interval: 85,600 to 123,400) within the community population in England had the coronavirus (COVID-19) during the most recent week, from 13 to 19 September 2020, equating to around 1 in 500 people (95% credible interval: 1 in 600 to 1 in 400).

As I said in the post you responded to, it's important that we are fully aware of the risks. The above statistics are from the UK government and reasonably reliable. The worldometers statistics are more questionable, but the WHO gives 32.4 million cases so that gives an idea of the ball park figure.
Expressflight has stated the impact of a risk averse approach. Air travel will only recover when a reliable vaccine is freely available.
