A small group of Brits were caught ill in a French skiing resort a few days back, and the largest number of Wuhan coronavirus infected people outside China are on a cruise ship docked at port in Japan. This comes as no surprise, because airplanes, airports and cruise ships are ideal for spreading the virus. They are crammed spaces with a lot of people shuffling back and forth.
Other places such as schools and supermarkets see the same people every day. They are therefore safe as long as the virus has yet to arrive in town. However, once the virus reaches Porto, I'll keep my boy home from school, and we'll keep our errands to a minimum. Hopefully, that'll be sufficient for us to avoid catching the flu.
