    ...... info in the link

    A taxi driver died with coronavirus after being spat at by a fare-dodger who claimed to have the disease, a family friend has said.

    New grandfather Trevor Belle told friend Damian Briggs, that he had been spat at by the passenger who owed him just £9.

    The passenger reportedly told 61-year-old Trevor: "I've got the coronavirus and now you've got it too."
    ........ Trevor had just become a grandfather
    After the incident in Stratford on March 22, Trevor began to feel unwell with symptoms of coronavirus, he died in the Royal London Hospital on April 18, having tested positive.

    It is shocking.
    There was a similar case also in the UK.

    Rail worker dies of coronavirus after being spat at while on duty

    "Belly Mujinga, 47, was working on the concourse of Victoria station in central London on the morning of 22 March when a man who said he had Covid-19 spat and coughed at her and a colleague. Within days of the assault, both women fell ill with the virus"

    How likely is it to actually get coronavirus from someone spitting on your face?

    Scummy thing to do.
