A woman hides in a nylon bag for fear of "Corona"

A woman terrified of catching the Corona virus in China stunned train passengers accompanying her in her protective gown that was literally a nylon bag covering her completely.

A passenger recorded the strange moment in which a woman in a huge plastic bag was eating a banana on a train in China.

The man, known as Wang, noticed the apparently starving woman and took out a banana to eat while wearing a huge plastic bag that covered her to the knee.

 The video, filmed by the man, spread strongly, due to the strange situation and the exaggerated dress of the woman.

There are sporadic outbreaks of the Corona virus throughout Wuhan, Wang told the China Morning Post.

But in my opinion, it's a bit extreme for this woman to protect herself in this way."

But the video split the public, with some suggesting that eating on the train is illegal in China, while others argued that she might suffer from low blood sugar.

The woman was apparently not wearing the mandatory protective mask, though it is unclear if the huge nylon bag was to replace it.

Despite the strangeness of the scene, the video clip, which gained wide views, shows a man sleeping peacefully next to the strange woman, while another passenger is checking his phone.

And news sites called for a tolerant approach to these manifestations, especially in light of the current measures to spread Corona.
