1-11 your argument has more holes than a loosely knit woolly jumper.
I was in our local supermarket last week, it’s still fairly busy despite online shopping. Yes there is fear of travelling but IATA statistics show the chances of catching Covid on an aircraft is minuscule. I can’t remember the exact stats but was 0.006% for 2.3bn flown worldwide. I myself flew two domestic sectors on EZY plus two international flights with domestic sectors attached without any incident whatsoever. Yes on board service and check in and gates had revised practice but nothing which was insurmountable.
You yourself are creating fear where there really is no need to. I’ll happily have the vaccine plus wear masks, distance and sanitise hands for the next couple of years if it means I can travel to meet relatives, friends and have a holiday. After all sunshine is good for your general health and well-being.
You mention the elderly: most of the elderly no longer work.
The folks I feel really sorry for are those working at the sharp end, day in, day out, those who can’t visit hospitals or care homes, those who serve the public in all aspects of daily life and those who still comply despite this being nearly twelve months in being mis served by many politicians of many different parties.
