I really don't think it is going to be possible to avoid people while this virus is an issue - train, taxis, bus, elevator, theater, shopping mall, supermarket, Round the Bays - all of which I am doing this week. We have no idea who we should be avoiding. It is likely the second person conformed was out and about in other settings as well - not just taking planes.
