Not a planefag here, but my tendency on things like this is to ask, "Compared to what?" On any given normal day, how many of these air spaces are restricted?
Side note, may or may not be relevant. My wife went on a mission trip to middle Tennessee yesterday (Saturday) and her group was scheduled to take two buses to the location. The bus company is a large transport company based out of Houston, TX, with satellite locations around the south, including our city. Well... the buses were late and had been subcontracted by the parent Texas company to a local bus company.
The reason given was that the Houston, TX, parent company had to call in all their buses to transport military personnel. No further explanation was given, but it does give one pause, doesn't it?
Thomas Sowell has the same response whenever someone talks about 'climate change.' "Compared to what?" he always asks. In other words, he is challenging the climate people to compare today's climate to Earth's 4.5 billion year history, and point out at what time was the climate "perfect"? What point in Earth's history should we be trying to get back to? And that even assumes that such a plan could be put in place...and it can't.
...or maybe hopeful? The DOD Manual on The Law of War, "the military is the only way," and all that? We live in interesting times. Oh, and look... billions of people worldwide will be watching the Super Bowl tonight...what a perfect opportunity to make a certain announcement. "My fellow Americans..." Of course it would be on Twitter too, per Q.

I agree with you. We all have to question everything. When they were trying to push how many covid deaths were happening I asked two simple questions.
How many deaths normally happen in that same time frame? What is the difference? A lot of people got pissed off at me.

Thomas Sowell is very intelligent.
That's perfectly reasonable. To do otherwise is unreasonable, imo.
That's what woke me. How many deaths are normal? Then where was the pandemic?
Very interesting. And concerning.
