(later) Crap, I decided to go out, and the stop after mine the train packed with skiers. One moron, with an Italian patch on his jacket, was coughing nonstop until I fled 2 stops later.
If I stop posting soon, it will be because I am dead.
[ETA] To clarify, the person with the patch was definitely not Italian. I speak Italian, whatever he was speaking to his mate – I could hear some – it was not that. (I think I know what it was, but I intentionally did not mention it!)
Sorry if anyone thought I was disparaging Italians. The point is that quite a bit of the transmission in Northern Europe is from people visiting Italy, often to ski, and then spreading it. This person was obviously visiting here, had apparently visited Italy because of his jacket decoration, and was spreading something, hopefully just a cold.
If this post remains hidden from flags, so be it.
