Thanks for the ping.

I also agree with you. This does not seem to be spread by respiratory route. It would seem to be spread by contact.

Standard contact isolation appears to limit spread.

Germany's experience in the next four days will be interesting. Since the passengers on the flight were clearly exposed to the index case for their area, you can plot the seating and guess the amount of exposure.

Those sitting in front, behind, or adjacent to the man in question may be vulnerable.

On the other hand, the man's wife was not ill until today. So, the symptoms does appear to take a while to manifest.

Exxxactly,

The seating in the plane will give us a range of exposure
