Sitting in an airport departures lounge in the midst of a nasty coughing fit all I could feel was paranoid and nervous that everyone would think that I had swine flu and that it was my deadly intention to infect everybody sitting there!

Of course, nothing could be further from my mind but I did begin to realise how other people nursing a cold are feeling!

According to the article “Swine flu quarantine warning for visitors to China!” the officials at Chinese airports are not taking any chances. Not only are they confining people displaying flu-like symptoms, they are also banging up people just for flying in on the same plane as them.

The warning is make sure your travel insurance covers you for unexpected quarantine confinement while visiting China because it could happen to you. Even if you aren’t even ill!
