While we are being advised to work from home if we can and not to use public transport, as the virus spreads through close contact, the view from some here is that social distancing should be ignored when passing through airports, sitting on aircraft and then standing on airside buses with your nose pressed against the next passenger. Fair enough when social distancing isn’t practical when flying. The trouble is many potential passengers freak out at that idea.
The government hasn’t banned air travel. If I want to travel to Spain I still can. If I want a beer in a Liverpool pub I cannot do it.
