I really don't understand this.
Just cannot believe this is happening.
I don't know who is more moronic, the Airline or the passengers.
This was an Aer Lingus flight from Belfast to London on Monday.

What are you supposed to do if you bought a ticket and need to get where you are going?

It the airlines responsibly to reduce the numbers of tickets they sell and spread people out.

Typical lockdowners attacking and insulting individuals.

Should this have been adapted by now given analysis of patients to date?
Not possible from day one given sample sets of cases but as time passes it seems the PC brigade don't want to address this.

Is it acceptable to force over 65s to comply with this while obese people who end up requiring critical care when faced with conditions like this are left to do as they please?

Should there be an onus on obese people to improve their health as a result of this type of pressure they put on health services?

Also I'd be confident that the rates of obesity in the general population of NZ/Aus/Swe/South Korea are far below US/Italy/UK.

Explain at least how you know these journeys were not essential and that the passengers did not have valid reasons for travel.

And also how if they were valid and essential, how you expected them to sort out their seating arrangements when that is up to the Airline?

That's unreal given the circumstances.

On a personal level for your own personal health and safety
1) avoiding/minising crowds is crucial
2) avoiding/minising travel

If it was me with a ticket, personally I wouldn't travel.

The airline also has a responsibility here considering governments have implemented social distancing guidelines to slow down the spread of this.

I will be interested in learning what the outcome of this packed flight will be in a few more weeks. Whether people get ill or not.

Seating arrangements make no difference on an aeroplane.

Makes little or no difference as to how packed or empty the flight it when it comes to the spread.

I mean, it's pretty much universally acknowledged that China delayed information, suppressed people trying to circulate knowledge and delayed notifying the WHO while trying to cover up

For those reasons alone, I think sanctions against china are necessary

The french case kinda throws a spanner in now

A bit of who smelt it dealt it situation

What if the French told the world about the virus in December with it's first case and China kept quiet till after?

Would we all have looked at France then.

Hard to know who to believe now

As crazy as it sounds it might not have even started in China/Wuhan

They could of been just the first place to detect it

Two friends of mine are medics. Both said they won't fly again until there is a vaccine.

Good for them. I will be flying plenty. And looks like, from Macron's stance, that intra-EU (and UK) travel will be able to go ahead without quarantine

You'll probably need a good reason to travel.

Macron today.

French President Emmanuel Macron said it was unlikely that French people would be able to undertake major foreign trips this summer and that even trips within Europe may have to be limited in order to reduce the risk of a resurgence of the coronavirus epidemic

So Macron proving that he is a fool too. How have so many European countries elected gob****es to run their countries?

I'll be back on a plane as soon as flights get going again and borders reopen.

One passenger commented that they weren’t given advice on how to keep safe?
What age were they? 2?
I presume they were an adult of some sort.
I think everybody in Europe pretty much knows what’s happening, if a grown adult needs advice at this time on how to keep safe well..,..I have no idea.

Quite possibly. Depends on the degree to which obesity is a problem in and of itself, and not the confounding factors of diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, etc.

Not possible from day one given sample sets of cases but as time passes it seems the PC brigade don't want to address this.

Yes, the world is against you. Only you have the truth. There definitely aren't highly skilled medical people looking into this.

Is it acceptable to force over 65s to comply with this while obese people who end up requiring critical care when faced with conditions like this are left to do as they please?

The elderly and all other risk groups are currently advised to cocoon. Your issue is literally with a fiction in your head.

Should there be an onus on obese people to improve their health as a result of this type of pressure they put on health services?

They pay more for health insurance. Obesity is not a simple issue - most developed nations have seen a rise in it, and there isn't a consensus on why. We could equally demand that motorcyclists, smokers and drinkers of alcohol mend their ways, and at least those behaviours are generally easier to deal with.

Also I'd be confident that the rates of obesity in the general population of NZ/Aus/Swe/South Korea are far below US/Italy/UK.

27th/43rd/103rd/143rd in the world, vs 16th/92nd/39th, so your random guesses were right about 50% of the time. You could look this up, but I guess it's easier to just throw **** at the wall and see what sticks.

Vintners association are just making a token effort on behalf of their members. They could come up totally bomb proof plan and it still wouldnt fly, the point is society needs to opened up gradually, the pub is further down the peaking order from everything 3-6 weeks before it. Sorry but it is, most of us are still been told to stay out of the office til the same date ffs.

Vintners are complaining about being treated "second class citizens". Hilarious.
Although many people's lives seem to revolve around the pub, many of us rarely set foot in them and wouldn't care if they all vanished.
Pubs are unnecessary to all but publicans and their staff. They should be last in line to get back to normal.
Also, how much did pubs and nightclubs contribute to packed A&E departments on weekend nights? Really not a good idea.

I am agreeing with you Hurrache. I was referring to other posters complaining about it. Though the airlines are still discussing "leaving the middle seat free" options, not sure if that reflects a view that they just want to appease people.

Varadkar did a steady job of it overall

They let the virus rip through nursing homes while locking.down fit working.people

No getting away from that

And don't forget the politicians. They have a lot of family associations with pubs.
I remember being charged €9.50 for a pint of Rockshore in a city centre pub a few years ago and asked myself what the complete **** is going on here?
They are not needed by the Irish people. Let them go to the wall.
