I was going to mention the risks of the air quality on the plane, however not wanting to be like Trump I decided to do some research.
Turns out, according to this guy it isn't that bad.
The truth about cabin air
How 'stale' is the recycled air in a plane? - BBC Science Focus Magazine
Should I cancel my flight? Does recirculated air on a plane spread coronavirus? Here’s what you need to know before traveling - MarketWatch
"Transmission of infection may occur between passengers who are seated in the same area of an aircraft, usually as a result of the infected individual coughing or sneezing or by touch,” WHO noted on its website. “This is no different from any other situation in which people are close to each other, such as on a train or bus or in a theatre."
Others say such filters are imperfect. “HEPA filters are commonly thought to be impenetrable, but in fact they are only 99.97% efficient at collecting the most-penetrating particle,” one 2009 study concluded. “While this is an impressive collection efficiency, HEPA filters may not provide adequate protection for all threats: viruses are submicron in size and have small minimum infections doses.”
Travelers should still disinfect where they are seated, wash their hands often, avoid touching their face and try to stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing, regardless of where or how they travel."
However, common sense should apply, but we all know that some of the inhabitants of gods green earth ain't too blessed with this.
Personally I wouldn't go travelling abroad just yet, but good luck to ya!

In all honesty, I'm not bothered at all. Amazed to see work colleagues who are aghast that Im going abroad. Mind you a few of the permes have refused to go into supermarkets since it all began and refused to go into the office at all. Worlds gone crazy.
The mask thing is not going to be cool though. In the airport, and plane and partly in the hotel.....
You will be bothered when you or a member of your family is left with long term damage after even a mild bout.. Guess you won't be bothered about the other people you infect though...
For your sake I hope everything does go OK and you can come back and tell us you told us so and there is nothing out there. We wouldn't want you to find out what could happen to you.Last edited by northernladuk; 16 July 2020, 02:12.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Even if people might agree they aren't going to be dumb enough to back you up. If you want to go just go and do it quietly. No need to make yourself look like an utter moron at the same time.
