WORST EVER: The poor girl probably got sent to a re-education camp for that mistake. She has dishonored her entire nation and will now suffer for the rest of her life as a result. Hopefully that's not the case, but we're talking China and so it's entirely possible!

I noticed that all the news about the coronavirus is being posted to the Infectious Diseases thread in Technology and Gadgets. Probably there should be a few articles here also, but people are free to post as they see fit. So, just a heads up to alert people to check out that other thread for news about the coronavirus.
