Re: Flight alert - incredibly dangerous

Lion Queen, Captain Surfermom is still flying, though all domestic. Most flights are empty except for commuting crew and medical staff. A few are traveling to help with family or funerals. His company has always flown some cargo, and those efforts are ramping up - especially with medical supplies. The airports are largely empty.

He's not around much, going straight into self-quarantine after a few days of flying, though we are both about 95% he had Covid-19 in early January.

Not yet. Here, testing is only available for those who are symptomatic. He and I are both interested in being tested for antibodies when it becomes available (blood test).

Yes thats what l thought Ray!! Thanks for the confirmation.
But we do have charter flights flying, some ot which are being paid
forbyus taxppayers for what reason l know not?
The risks of importing more virus carrying tourists into uk must
be considerable and could result in the lockdown being extended?
Even if they are returning british tourists!!
Oh yes and l suppose we still get the odd prince or duke or
whatever are still flitting around?

Donkeyman! 😟😟
