August is 11 months away so the 72 hour requirement should not be an issue for you.
I donāt think any building sums up the impact of this more than Dublin airport. Itās usually crammed with life, with passengers coming and going, literally a symbol of inward and outward tourism and business.
Now itās empty

People are deathly afraid of flying. I suppose it makes some sense, cooped up in a tin can for hours with hundreds of other people is possibly one of the most likely places to get infected, even with the air flow in planes and everyone wearing masks, itās still probably moderate risk. I think itāll take a change in peopleās attitude to getting Covid before we see a big pickup in flying.
Hundreds? Iād say if transatlantic flights have 20 or 30 people on them now, itās as much.
Agreed, but itās the fear of being in close proximity to other people who could be infected that has people petrified.
What people? Irrational people?

Businesses aināt forking out much for flights currently, thatās a lot of it too. Weāre grounded until further notice.
Everyone is irrational mate, just vary in degrees of it. TFK is an oasis of rationality compared to the general population.
No it isnāt. Youāre being irrational. Itās a breeding ground for fascists that have convinced themselves that theyāre anti-fascist.

Those people have been chased, you must not have been around for a while.
Thereās a few of the cunts still floating around, I suspect.
And the publican expected to record what you ate and drank, and if you used two sheets of paper or just the one when you wiped your ring.
The most confused virus of all time. If you have a pizza in a pub, it canāt get you, but if you go into a shop without a face coveringā¦ BANG! Dead.
Thatās the most sensible thing youāve ever said. Well done kid.

A requirement for every passenger to have a COVID free cert is probably whatās needed to get aviation moving.
I donāt think itās a fear of flying. After 9/11 they closed the skies for a few weeks and people were trapped away from home - aviation was affected for a while. People are afraid of being trapped or stuck away from home, kids etc.
Hepa filters and the fact planes are not at full capacity makes them relatively safe. Higher risks are getting to the airport and queuing at the airport.
Heathrow is trialling three kinds of tests with result time ranging from almost immediate to thirty minutes.
God be with the days when you were on a plane and you were watching every move of an Arab lad with thick soled shoes.
