I had the (bad) experience of flying across Europe - for personal unavoidable reasons-  during May 2020.  Not at the peak, but still on a 'hot' CoVid19 situation.  If someone has not seen the movie "Annon", or, on its defect, "Gattaca", I would strongly recommend you to do so.  What until last year was referred as dystopic, is almost a reality today in Europe... is it for good, or for bad?
