UK rail worker dies of coronavirus after being spat at while on duty

Source: TheGuardian.com

The family and friends of a railway ticket office worker who died of coronavirus after being spat at while on duty say the incident raises serious questions for her employer.

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.

Mujinga, the mother of an 11-year-old girl, Ingrid, was admitted to Barnet general hospital and put on a ventilator but died on 5 April. Her cousin Agnes and a colleague who witnessed the incident said Mujinga had pleaded against working outside the protection of the ticket office without PPE.

Frankly, I don't give a damn if hoards of these idiots die. I'm really fed up with their stupidity and nonsense, and the fact they infect others with their willful stupidity and actions.

on someone on purpose should be considered assault.

In this case charged with murder.
