Clearly the two people concerned have had their movements tracked from when they disembarked the cruise ship until arrival at ALC airport.

I wonder if the two people were tested in front of the other passengers from the plane, and if so what the other passengers were thinking when they saw it happening.

Fingers crossed . I'm flying into Alicante on Thursday.

I wonder if in three months air/ ferry travel will be banned without some sort of "non infected" certificate?
Will supermarket and outdoor market shopping be controlled? Large crowd sports banned?

I think it should be treated as Flu....If you are reasonably fit, you should get over an infection...but the aged and infirm need more protection and priority.

Perhaps Mother Nature is telling us we are overpopulated!!

I think the world may just have to wait for it to run its course.

Read this morning that a woman in China was diagnosed with the virus, treated, released and now has contracted it for a second time. Even her dog has now tested positive.

Medical experts keep reiterating about washing you hands to reduce infection, but is that really going to have much affect ?

You go down an escalator or steps at a shopping centre and you are touching a handrail used be hundreds of people, or press the buttons for a lift, does anyone wash their hands afterwards ?

Even after lifting the lid of a communal bin and depositing household waste, the chances are you will have touched several handles on your own property before being able to wash your hands. And after washing your hands you will touch those same handles again at some point.

I flew into Alicante on Thursday.
Embarking at Frankfurt...there were approximately 15 people that boarded the plane , wearing surgical masks .
I had a rather large lady ( wearing the mask ) sitting next to me .
The flight was barely in the air , when she pulled the mask down , and proceeded to take food out of her bag .
She "demolished" 2 rolls , I packet of crisps , finished off with a can of cola .
And then, put the mask back on for the remainder of the flight .
I believe these standard surgical masks are ineffective anyway .. am I right ?

[Francisco]

..Sitting next to you, I can well understand the mask...but, ...overcome by hunger, the "Lady" had to risk it, and then back to the mask...

"Rather large..." "demolished two rolls etc ", "wore a mask"....hmmmm?..

I wonder if you were stalked, GK? ....

... KoK, Crummy, Foalteam, all likely suspects that would inevitably allow their greed for fast food to override the need for anonimity...

Seems you had a lucky escape,,,

[Graham Knight]

I certainly did , Francisco.

GK---was she hungry for more ---lol

[Graham Knight]

She certainly was a " go-lightly", George.
Overlapping her seat , and invading my space .
