Even on a middle seat in the first line of the non-recliners, with the guy in front going back as far as the button allows him to.
My idea was that the more you test the more you find, the more you find the more you hospitalize/quarantine/care for... You put a lid on it but you do increase demand on the hospitals. Having said that I'm absolutely not a medical expert.
Is the Channel tunnel open?
I imagine air travel restrictions in place more to control possible infections in the community one travels to. Multiple examples of this to date.
