Travel sick

Hearing a sneeze on the plane on the way back from Manila reminded me of a story I read on the inflight news - about a mystery illness hitting a train in Canada last Friday. The train had been quarantined and only people wearing protective gear could enter. One person had died and others were ill with mild flu-like symptoms. But, according to a report on BBC News America, the death of a woman on the train and the other illness were probasbly unrelated and the train, and surviving passengers, were able to continue on their way a few hours later.
