Mr Super Spreader. A Sensible Idea.

[retrocop]

Was this a sensible disclosure and in the 'public interest'?
I appreciate that health authorities have to try and track all contacts with this gentleman since he left Singapore but what good does it do him to identify him at this stage of the contagion.
Bearing in mind that members of the Chinese community have been ostracised widely and suddenly become victims of hate crime as a result of Coronavirus should this person be outed?
Unless he consented I would have thought he was entitled to patient confidentiality.

Sorry, not 80,000+ but 80 times the official number.

1 000 deaths recorded and if it is 80 times then that would be 80 000 real deaths
UNLESS the death ratio has plummeted

there are a billion chinese in china you know
