Coronavirus Impact on Air Travel
In England (from tomorrow) you are not allowed to travel to elsewhere in the UK, unless for work, education or other legally permitted reasons.
Those apply to any mode of transport.
I've noticed, particularly in the last 6 weeks that throughout Europe, scheduled flights have been consistently closing doors maybe 15 mins before scheduled departure time, and taking off often a few minutes before scheduled departure time - with the result that on arrival passengers begin disembarking well before the scheduled arrival time
Can anyone point me to some weekly or daily rigorous punctuality stats so I can see if punctuality has indeed improved as much as I think ?

I think also with some noticeable exceptions the load factor means few planes are leaving 90% full which makes it easier to load everybody quicker.

A number of airlines give out masks to pax when they board. Most seem to dish out unbranded standard pale blue masks, but today I saw my first corporate branded mask (and the design of the print was bold and easily recognisable) - effectively making the wearer into a mobile advert for the airline. How long before this becomes mainstream ?
Yes, but only allegedly because of the risk from mink. How many people going from UK to Denmark are likely to come into contact with people working in mink farms etc?
We in England are banned from taking holidays at the moment anyway, so any trip between the 2 countries is most likely to be for business reasons, and I don't think that the mink trade is that significant.... would be a more effective step if the UK could stop its infected politicians travelling domestically on public transport :-(

Track and trace is not a reliable source. You can take 20 buses, visit 100 shops in a day and then go to the pub and they'll only take the details of the pub.

This is no joking matter. A new strain of Corona has spread from mink to humans making the new vaccines potentially ineffective. U.K. citizens returning from Denmark should be placed in supervised quarantine. Those already here should be taken into supervised quarantine together with their family members.
Just need to look at the departure board from Copenhagen to see where this new strain could spread to by tomorrow. Those working on mink farms are mainly Eastern European’s which is a major risk to Europe.

BA and Ryanair pilots and cabin crew now have to quarantine for 14 days if they have flown out of Denmark from today.
I read that around 200 people now have this new strain in Denmark. I can remember reading about a new virus in China around last Christmas. Now look where we are.

Denmark has 1050 cases today to get to 54k cases and its death rate per million is 128 while the UKs is 719 but seems to be lets blame Denmark.
