TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A Chinese man infected with the Wuhan coronavirus has drawn fire from netizens over his alleged reckless behavior that has resulted in the quarantine of more than 4,000 people who may have come into contact with him over the past weeks.

A resident from Jinjiang City in Fujian Province reportedly concealed his travel history to Wuhan, the epicenter of the 2019-nCoV outbreak, deceptively claiming he returned from a trip with his family to the Philippines, wrote Liberty Times.

Rather than conduct self-quarantine, he moved around the city, attending one gathering after another. According to online accounts, he at least made appearances at a large wedding banquet in Dongshi Town and an ancestral hall event in Yinglin Town last month, which had a combined attendance of more than 4,000.

The man, who has been confirmed as having contracted the new virus, was even seen toasting guests table by table at the wedding banquet, increasing the odds of spreading the illness. The 4,000 residents have been subject to quarantine and seven of them have tested positive for the coronavirus.

He’s lucky he’s in Taiwan. I think the mainland would shoot, shovel and shut up. He’d disappear.

Xi said that malfeasance in fighting the virus would be dealt with harshly. And this guy qualifies.

If he doesn’t die from the virus, he will die at the hands of family of any of the four thousand who die of the virus.

Especially if it’s a child.

That same Typhoid Mary behavior was demonstrated in the US by those Chinese students and adults that raced to the US to be treated . That Chinese UMass Boston. student is Exhibit A . We need to arrest and charge these Chinese Nationals .

This man needs to be charged with a crime for ever person who gets sick or dies as a result of his actions. Possibly even mass murder.

“He’s lucky he’s in Taiwan. I think the mainland would shoot, shovel and shut up. He’d disappear.”

My first thought is that they’d harvest his organs, like China does with other ‘deplorables’ (based on their definition)...but they sure as heck wouldn’t want that crap.

At the very least, if he recovers he should spend the rest of his life in prison for attempted murder of 4000.

According to the article, he’s not in Taiwan. How he’s dealt with depends on how connected he is. Bo Xilai is alleged to have wanted to mount a coup attempt like the successful one Deng Xiaoping mounted against Hua Guofeng. Bo failed and is serving a life term.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Guofeng#Ousting_and_death

Bo Xilai is alive today because Xi understands that if he is killed, all bets are off re how bloody it could get if Xi ever gets toppled in turn. Xi could end up dangling from a lamp post instead of being confined in the Chinese equivalent of Club Fed.

Sorry. The banquet was in Taiwan, and the newpaper was from Taiwan.

The hazards of speed reading.

This guy had better be VERY well connected, then.

In a country as populated as China, just 100 selfish and narcissistic individuals incubating the Coronavirus could spread the disease to hundreds of thousands of people. This is my concern about the epidemiological permutations that are possible.

He did this with intent and on purpose.

If he had self quarrantined and isolated himself that’s one thing.

This guy needs to be dealt with for what he’s done.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Look up Chinese tourist stories

Haha haha, I did:

Have the Chinese Replaced Americans As the Worst Tourists in the World?

Outside the Louvre in Paris, there’s a sign in Mandarin which tells visitors not to defecate in the surrounding grounds. This sign is only written in Mandarin Chinese. No other nationality, it appears, needs to be reminded where it is and is not appropriate to shit in the vicinity of metropolitan France’s art museums. Every other nation on earth understands implicitly the social contract they're signing up to: that, in exchange for their continued participation in art, visitors must shit only within the white porcelain bowls located inside the designated toilet zones...

Well, he’s acquainted with at least 4000 people.
