and your point is?
current practice is apparently to leave the middle seat (of 3) empty, as reported to be standard practice on most airlines, allowing 2 feet between passengers ............... a load of good that will do, with infected air circulating round the cabin.
the whole thing is a farce.
Ryanair' boss was very critical - in his opinion the only way you can make air travel even slightly safe is to check the temperature of every passenger before boarding and require everyone including the cabin crew to wear a mask.

How many in the photo were handcuffed ... dragged onto the plane and transported against their will ?
If I'm not happy in a situation I move out of it, as I'm sure do most people.

we've covered this already on another thread. with upwards of 200,000 (maybe as much as 1 million) cases of infection it is academic if a few infected folk arrive in the UK by air, rubber dinghy or hang glider. it might have mattered in January but not now.
what I really don't understand is why anyone would be so desperate as to risk picking it up on a plane.
............. oh! and we are not S. Korea where they do hand out phones - but I expect you have been an expat for so long now that you can't remember which country is which.
PS : I don't have a silly smart phone so I won't be apping.

.. does that make me an accessory to murder?!! I would say, for the benefit of anyone who may not be able to read your whole post, that it's possible. |

................... oh, hang on, he'll crash at the first bend so he'll certainly be guilty of manslaughter.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8286373/Aer-Lingus-says-coronavirus-safety-priority-busy-flight-criticism.html So Aer Lingus is going to 'probe itself'?

So did the outraged customers taking the pictures on the flight think they had paid for a private flight with no other passengers??
In what way was the flight different to their expectations?

I certainly don’t read the Daily Mail, and it was a fairly obvious comment to make to the fake outrage photos, so it doesn’t surprise me I wasn’t first. |

If the virus was really that deadly, everyone on that plane would be dead right now. you do talk a load of bollox some of most of the time. |

you do talk a load of bollox some of most of the time. I don't think anyone would have boarded the plane if it had been the Black Plague. So, no, I don't talk bollox most of the time. If Covid-19 is really contagious, how come it hasn't arrived in our area yet? Who knows what those people on the plane thought - none of 'em even had a mask on, not that a mask helps totally as air, of course, goes round the sides, top and bottom - and also through it anyway (but helps to keep the droplets of moisture away from person wearing it, and person spluttering into your face). All in all, I am suspicious of this whole coronavirus issue - wildly varying tables and statistics and behaviour. Nurses doing TikTok videos in PPE. Hospitals empty. Flying OK for some but not others. Reports of deaths being reported as 'Covid-19' for people who have obviously died directly from something else. People who have (probably) died as a direct result of having contracted the coronavirus deliberately NOT being reported as having had Covid-19. Very little seems to all tie in together. If you are in a low risk group, basically under 40 you probably don’t have too much to worry about, though a few WILL die if they catch it. If you are in a very high risk group and you catch it, it sounds like 50% will die. So the question is should we as a society try to protect the most at risk, or just accept the bodies piling up and carry on? Even if you are in a low risk group, your relatives may not be, and if they catch it they could easily die. That’s why I support the government actions. As to nurses making silly videos, having a job where 3 or 4 people die on your ward every day and they are at great risk of catching themselves is a very stressful situation and without something to take your mind off it all you would just crack up. Finally, the reason it has not arrived in your area yet is because of the restrictions preventing infected people travelling all over and spreading it, so the lockdown is obviously working for your area. |

Apparently there is no 'low risk' for this unknown virus, so anyone inside an aeroplane is inviting a big risk - and not just to themselves, but everywhere they go afterwards, and to everyone they meet afterwards. "is a very stressful situation" - try driving buses with 130 passengers on board. Isn't that about 25% of the total population of your part of Finland |
