in business as usual
I'm not sure 70% reduction in flights is "business as normal".
Gatwick sounds fucked. But not as fucked as the Aussies unloading 2700 cruise ship passengers into Sydney without a single check.

If everyone goes home to isolate for 3 weeks I guess the idea is that that'll be enough?

Living under a flight path - far fewer planes overhead.
City Aiport closed until end of April. Offering use to gov if needed - is right across from Excel (NHS Nightingale) https://twitter.com/LondonCityAir/status/1242858471357386752/photo/1 -
I'm not sure business as usual is the right phrase. Flights are down over 75%

There was one departure from Leeds Bradford Airport yesterday. Not exactly business as usual!

@Lw.
Is it weird that the country is in "lock-down" but the airports seem to be in business as usual? Or is it too late for anything to happen at the borders now as it's already everywhere?
I flew into Gatwick on Tuesday (having been traveling for ~40 hours surrounded by coughing/sniffly people); got to Gatwick & there was a small table in the corner of the immigration hall with some sanitiser on it & a poster of "Don't spread it" but nothing else. No questions asked about prior trips (Italy, China etc...), no screening, no forms or information handed out. This is a stark contrast to Auckland, Bali & Dubai which all had lots of announcements, social distancing markers, temperature scanners etc...
