A Chinese woman who knew she was infected with the deadly coronavirus has disguised her symptoms by deliberately taking antipyretics and successfully boarded a plane to France. She then bragged about her actions online in photographs with friends she met on arrival, according to Chinese media sources.
Users of Chinese social media site Weibo were shocked and angry at the reckless and potentially deadly actions of the woman. One said: “This kind of person is the most shameless”. Another posted: “She is now a time bomb.” As the deathtoll hits 17 the "infected" woman posted about her "escape" from Wuhan and how she was enjoying food in a French city.
She posted: "Finally, I can have a good meal, it feels like I hacve been starving for two days. In a city of global delicacies, of course we have to eat food with Michelin Stars. This was also more successful, with no bugs. Just before I left, I has a low fever and was coughing quite heavily, I ate lots of medivine, which lowered my fever. finally, my fever went down, and I was able to exit."
The medicine she has taken is ikely to have been an antipyretic, which lowers the bodies temperature when fever hits.
The "infected" woman explained in a post that unfortunately if her infection was diagnosed, she would become a “super-infected person”.
This news comes as many more cases of those infected with the virus have been revealed, including Wang Guangfa, a member of the expert group of the Chinese National Health and Medical Commission who had visited Wuhan earlier and stated that the epidemic was “controllable and preventable”, but he has been diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia last night.
So far, 440 people have been infected. A total of 26 cases were reported in Guangdong and 14 cases were confirmed in Shenzhen.
China has placed infrared temperature measurements screening in airports, train stations, coach stations and terminals.
The news comes after a French citizen had been reported to have suffered respiratory problems and other virus symptoms after returning to France from a trip to Wuhan, the Chinese city in which coronavirus appears to have originated.
The symptoms had previously been suspected to be coronavirus.
Yet, French director general of health, Jérôme Salomon, confirmed that the patient had received tests for viral infection at the Institut Pasteur health clinic, and all had come back negative.
Mr Salomon told French public service media FranceInfo: “He is doing well, and has returned home.”
I wonder if Chinese leaders orchestrated this to equalize things after their trade fiasco.
