1,000 Guests Quarantined?

Yes.

So what the German press is saying in general....some Italian doctor went on a holiday vacation to Tenerife (a Spanish isle off the coast of Africa, and known for beachfront hotels).

It appears around the 5th day there, he decided that these flu-like symptoms that he was now showing.....warranted a visit to a doctor.  Test comes back.....Coronavirus.

Spanish authorities step in, and put this guy into isolation at some region hospital on the island (equipped for this).

Then they went to the hotel and said.....you 1,000 guests are now quarantined until each of you have been tested.  Yep, cops swarmed in and put up barriers, and they are pretty serious about this.

The curious thing.....is that there was simply a note pushed under each hotel room door.....saying you couldn't leave the room until you were notified.  Nothing was said about the virus, and you had to resort to the internet to find out what the whole deal was about.

The talk in the UK today?  They are actually talking about a mandatory isolation for every single person returning from an affected country.   It's hard to imagine how this would work, or where they would push people into some compound-like situation.  Even the suggestion of home-isolation for three to five days....how would you make that work? 

I would suggest we are fairly close (within 30 days) to mandatory air travel shut-down situation for a month long period across the globe.
