I hope they don't either.
But I do have to wonder, is more of this in the future? I am afraid so.
I think the number of cases has been growing yearly.
At one time the cases were mainly the elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. A great number of the cases involved the respiratory tract or lungs without open sores to see. The patients are usually placed in contact isolation and sometimes respiratory isolation using masks, gloves and gowns for nurses and visitors.
Some people opt to stay at home and they are usually seen by home health nurses as they are qualified to administer IV antibotics in the home.
For years when flying I have used bacitracin or triple antibiotic ointment in my nose. Just a precautionary measure for any disease since you are in such a small area without good ventilation.
I don’t fly very often, but I will write that down. Sounds useful for the future.
Good idea. I'm stealing it.
