DENVER — You’re settling into your tiny coach seat on your next business trip, and the person next to you starts coughing.
In the past, you might have grumbled about him flying with a cold. But now travelers may want to know: Does your seatmate have Ebola?
Probably not. But given the news of the past week, it’s hard not to worry.
Affected passengers may not show symptoms for up to 21 days.
Case in point: Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S., was screened for the virus before departing Liberia for the United States on September 19, but he didn’t show symptoms until he had been in Dallas for a few days. People who came into contact with him in the United States are being tracked down for monitoring.
Duncan came to the U.S. on United flight 822. The next day that plane, an Airbus A320, traveled to Denver and then onward to other cities, according to FlightAware.com.
