Many of America's infections have resulted from the same stupidity. Italians at the Biogen conference. Woman on the bus in Detroit. Someone at the Albany Georgia funerals. It might seem a little harsh to call that stupid based on what we know now. But it's not. People who were sick should not have been out, and if they were out, they should have covered their coughs.
Its a bit of a dilemma when you get sick away from home.
Are you supposed to stay in the hotel or whatever for however long, cancel travel tickets etc? You are exposing people wherever you are.
