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.

I believe the risk has been assessed based on projected loads... so a train journey in a carriage that's restricted to maximum 30% of capacity, bringing people from around the local region who have been subjected to the same controls for the past months. Versus a plane journey that brings people from all over the world and who could have picked up anything on the way.

Nor am I. I see where you're coming from. My thinking, on the other hand, was that as at the moment we're only testing hospital admissions (outside of NHS staff), all we're seeing is testing on the worst cases. So what we're doing is associating positive tests with hospital admissions.

What I was getting at, is that tested or not, those who have mild or no symptoms still wouldn't need hospitalisation. We'd get better statistics on the penetration and the effectiveness of the lockdown but that doesn't equate to more hospital admissions.

Another factor potentially skewing the data is the fact it's mainly NHS staff getting tested, and many of them are picking it up from their patients. So whilst we're seeing increasing numbers of cases as the testing increases, it's not necessarily penetrating or spreading further. The only way to gauge that is to test the general population

I agree with the sentiment expressed by Brisbane Road in an earlier post. Though I am not particularly optimistic about a vaccine, that may happen or not. If it happens it will be in an accelerated time frame I am sure.
But I am confident that treatment options will become available. Existing drugs, cocktails of drugs, plasma transfusions and treatment protocols. The learning curve will be extremely steep in the coming months.
It will not eradicate the virus but it definitely will take away the sharp edges of the disease (fewer severe cases and hospital admissions). If that happens (and I am optimistic considering the fact that the current effort worldwide is immense) and if testing on active virus and antibodies get more accurate and quicker which may have many practical implications, countries will certainly open up.

Not just expertflyer - seems like BA has stopped distributing any availability to GDS (hence why Expertflyer can't see it)

curious!

Just on this point, if travel restrictions are still in place yet the flight is not cancelled, under current rules are we only entitled to the standard refund of just taxes etc. I'm sure that for June flights, there will be an extension of the current voucher system, but wanted to ask for worst-case scenario.

Yup, JFK is zero'd for September (for example). However the same flights are available under the AA codes. Very odd indeed.

I recently had both work trips cancelled that was scheduled for Easter, one to Edinburgh and Luxembourg. I hoping my main holiday to Florida doesn't get cancelled in late September/October.

I have been in touch with ExpertFlyer, there is an issue with their primary reservation system. They have reported it and await a fix at their end.

I wouldn't expect you'll have a holiday in any of those places this summer.

Minsk would be a more reasonable place for this summer if you really need a vacation

At least, Belarus does not plan to close their borders.
I think that Schengen borders would be kept closed for non-essential travel until fall.
