Note the misinformation in that previous NYTIMES link. I was initially surprised that they’d even publish an article like this. And then I read it and found:

“Dr. Adalja said such a situation was not that plausible. He said that infected people are not contagious until they have symptoms, by which time they might not have the strength to go to a public place to infect others. And it would be hard for a suicide infector to spread the disease to others, since contact with bodily fluids is required.

“You have to literally vomit on them,” he said.”
