Has anybody else noticed the huge number of private aircraft, jet and prop, UK and US registered buzzing around the skies mostly concentrated in the south of England at the moment? As viewed on flightradar24.

Probably the 0.1%ers going about their business.
Australia has quarantine for the 'little' people who enter Australia from overseas but a billionaire returning from the states by private jet was allowed to go direct home after promising to 'self-quarantine'.

Had another look this morning and not quite as crowded as yesterday. Surprised just how many different types of private planes and helicopters there are out there some making very long journeys. Also some pretty bizarre and difficult to explain tracks.

Thinking about that a bit it is not as wrong as you would think offhand. The rich guy gets off his private jet which had a crew of just two or three then hopes into his limo driven by his chauffeur/butler and drives immediately to his mansion without stopping to walk around Walmart or any other public place as he never interacts with us little people for security reasons.
Unless he is planning to throw some glitzy party with a long list of A list guests he is at pretty low risk.
