In 10 days time it will be necessary to have a negative CV19 test, at your expense, if you travel to the Canary Islands. Lucky I am going before then!
Good effort. It’s clearly a risky area, but you just go for it, enjoy yourself, what’s the worst that can happen? 
Possibly the worst that could happen is the plane crashes into an explosives factory in a major city and everyone on board and within a radius of the crash dies. Highly unlikely though. Doesn’t usually stop people from going on holiday.
Is that how you prepare for your own holiday? Consider “what is the worst that could happen”?
I bet you’re loads of fun at dinner parties.

Is it any more risky than most of our regions right now?

How many passengers do you reckon would have survived if the plane didn't hit the factory?Possibly the worst that could happen is the plane crashes into an explosives factory in a major city and everyone on board and within a radius of the crash dies.

They did say “what’s the -worst- that could happen”.
If one considers flying to be too dangerous, one can opt not to fly. Same with travelling to an area with covid (from an area with covid). People are free to make their own choices within the confines of the law.
There really is no need to exert control on the lives of others just because you chose to give up control of your own to government guidance and social media hysteria.

but trying to get around the restrictions is a bit of a ‘game’.markyb_lcy said:

Unfortunately, far too many pricks are showing that they aren’t taking this stuff seriously enough, and they have proven that they do need strong arming.BrundanBianchi said:

Another wail link, but I think they’ve got it right again.

These are in the “travel corridors” the govt has agreed. The canaries themselves are bringing in a restriction requiring a mandatory negative test result. The OP is travelling there before it comes into force, therefore one is not required. Had these come into force before the OP travelled, I am sure they would pay for the test via a private clinic (aiui £100-200). Without that, they would be unlikely to be allowed to enter.
Perhaps the real problem here, and the real “prick” is you, as you don’t understand the restrictions even when they are laid out to you in black and white. It would appear that the restrictions are not tight enough for your liking. I suggest you take that up with the govt or your MP and keep your nose out of other people’s lawful choices and opinions.
You are not the police, and you have no right to tell other people how they should act, especially if they are acting perfectly lawfully.

P.s. was there any suggestion whatsoever from the OP that they were intending to not follow social distancing guidelines before, during or after their flight to a destination on the uk government travel corridor list?
You and Brundan are clearly authoritarian nutjobs. It is people like you we really need distance from.

Someone said they’re going on holiday and were glad to not have to take a test to get there.
BB suggested this was putting people at risk.
I suggested BB keep their nose out of other peoples lawful business.
You then started on about social distancing and further suggested the OP is putting people at risk.
I suggested you distance yourself from lawfully acting people and questioned why you brought up social distancing.
Make sense now?

A room, a bar and a classroom: how the coronavirus is spread through the air
Fascinating article by El Pais.
i'm sure someone will be along to dispute it in moments, but it seems reasonably well sourced.
