Apart from social distancing, what's the problem with people travelling..?
I think it is all about the social distancing, with a number of factors coming into play:
1. People aren't very good at measuring, and think that 6 feet separation is safe, whereas an aerosol from a cough can easily travel further.
2. A very good way to massively cut the risk of infecting others is to wear a mask, even a simple cloth mask, and yet there's a huge reluctance to do so for some reason.
3. People still aren't aware that they can be asymptomatic carriers and so believe that if they feel fine they can't be a danger to others.
If isolation can be maintained, then of course there's no problem with travelling, but as history has shown, people do tend to think that it's all over and it's safe to go out now way before it actually is. If they don't maintain the distancing and other controls, we'll have another peak.
Many European countries went into lockdown 4 or 5 weeks before us, and it's logical to my mind for us to come out 4 or 5 weeks after.
