I was so impressed by my point above that I thanked myself for it.
Anyway, I wasn't saying that planes were dangerous, just that I'm surprised that anyone is travelling at the moment - imagine the nightmare of trying to get from where you live, to an airport, through customs, on the plane, off at the other side and then to where you want to get. I thought that almost every country had closed its borders (I guess certain people deemed important can still get through) and buses might not be running, police can challenge you on the street and so on. Most of the planes that fly over us are normally Easyjet, maybe it's not them now I dunno, but when I see a plane fly overhead on what's basically a holiday route for normal people it seems like a jarring reminder of the old reality.
