Default No guidelines for airline passenger safety?

The link below is to an article a few days old, but after reading it again I don’t understand why airlines do not have any social distancing guidelines that they have to follow and are allowed to make up their own or have none. Yes, they are an essential business, but that implies that some passengers have no choice but to fly and should they then have guidelines to follow to keep those people safe? Right now there are more guidelines for grocery stores and restaurants than there are for airlines where the people are in a far more confined space and breathing recirculated air. Why is a restaurant restricted to 50% capacity but an airline can fill its planes to capacity if they so choose? Just another example of the inconsistent and wacky rules and guidelines (or lack thereof) we have going.
