Massachusetts Woman Faces Criminal Charges of Spreading Coronavirus

A woman from Massachusetts is being investigated for spreading the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) after allegedly lying about her symptoms. She now faces criminal charges in the People’s Republic of China.

The woman, 37-year-old Li Mou, reportedly boarded a flight in Massachusetts before stopping in Los Angeles on her way to Beijing in order to receive Coronavirus testing—apparently due to a dearth of such available kits in the United States.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Li self-administered fever suppressants before disembarking and concealed her symptoms when directly asked by flight attendants—citing “Beijing’s disease control center and an Air China representative” as sources.

Li is currently hospitalized and undergoing treatment. She could face several years in prison if convicted of the crime of “impeding prevention of infectious diseases.”

there is no specific treatment.

That degree of blind selfishness would be mind-boggling, if we weren't seeing similar shit every day by idiots hoarding TP and bottled water, or still going on spring break, or insisting that parishioners still come to church every week.
