Don't beleive the Hype

It is spread by droplet only. Meaning that casual contact with a person with the disease puts you at no significant risk. But if that person were to cough or sneeze all over you then you would be at risk. It can only travel as far as the droplet travels so airconditioners in hotels AIRCRAFT etc are not risky, although I wouldn't want to be sitting in sneezing range, luckily up the pointy end theres no risk of that! I'm off to Honka's on friday, I'm not too worried about it and neither should the rest of the travelling public, it just seems like that everyone in the world is so scared of everything these days, this is'nt the first disease of this kind and it surely wont be the last, everyone needs to stop worrying about things that MIGHT happen and get on with there lives!!

Just my two sense worth,

Cheers All
