How do the airlines plan to safeguard passengers on aircraft ?

Confined in close proximity for several hours - how is that going to work in practice ?

At present it is still hard but hopefully by September or October the incidence rates of COVID-19 will have diminished to such a low level that the risk would be equivalent to catching any disease from a fellow passenger. 

Not sure I'm comfortable with a hopeful "it'll be alright on the night"  !!!

At least on TUI flights we won't have to ask permission to go for a comfort break, unlike Ryanair !!!

I'd like to hear from the medical folks on this - for example, how airlines think it's acceptable to offer pre-purchased food if facemasks are required ?

Even more important - how are you supposed to drink your G&Ts with a facemask on?

With great difficulty !!!  

Maybe airlines could introduce nosebags - if it works for horses...................?

So you're not wanting the 'devil may care' attitude towards safety, but also don't want to ask to go to the toilet? 
Double standards; having a queue of people stood around waiting for the bog is prime way to have a lot of people in a small space. The Ryanair method is much more safe.

You've misunderstood my comment - I don't relish flying in the current climate, period.

Regardless of the airline or the toilet arrangements - as long as the queue is managed as safely as possible, that's as much as can be expected.
