I was shocked to read this story, even if he was only joking about coughing and saying he was deliberately infecting them was Covid. When you think how scared people are about catching this dreadful disease.

BBC? Not opening that.

I'm guessing this happened in U.K. and they have some sort of evidence to arrest him based on it. Just coughing in itself doesn't mean a person has COVID, though.

That said, people shouldn't be afraid to leave their homes and go where they need. Sure, you may use Amazon, but they won't deliver everything nor have everything. Speaking of Amazon, I'm thinking of stopping using Bezo's cash cow (not that I use it much these days, anyway) and support local businesses before they all go under.

It was actually in Majorca, he had a temperature and was going to work and the gym, deliberably removing his mask, coughing on his people and saying he had Covid

Unfortunately, it's just the mentality of some people. There have also been cases where people have intentionally infected (or pretended to infect) others with HIV or other STDs. Daryll Rowe got a life sentence for this in 2018. Likewise, a women in America made a Facebook live rant that later went viral. She stated she intentionally infected a number of men with HIV. After being arrested she told the police she wasn't really infected and had lied to get revenge.
