This guy said that he should gave stayed in Wuhan and not listened to the British government.
The British government wasn't really prepared to handle the epidemic. They were surprised when told to take public transport after arriving. Rather funny.

I don't know what you're talking about and I don't know why you tagged me. Hanjian are Chinese people with malice towards the Chinese nation, people, or government. This was a woman trying to escape a plague; it has nothing to do with betrayal. A virus isn't a foreign enemy to fight against and there is no nationalism in staying in a virus-hit area unless you are a doctor saving lives. I imagine that during the height of COVID in Wuhan, nobody wanted to stay there. Everyone would rather be anywhere else on earth than to stay there. There's nothing to fight, no love to show, just the omnipresent risk of death or disfigurement waiting.
12 new domestic confirmed cases today in China, 5 of them are previously discovered (and quarantined) asymptomatic carriers turning symptomatic. 7 new asymptomatic carriers discovered today.
So now down to single digits, looks like this latest wave in China is nearly over.
I might be saying this with benefit of hindsight, but if it were me, I would have declined the evacuation flight. Maybe I'm too blindly faithful in CCP.
When Wuhan was locked down, some Wuhan residents left Wuhan while some temporary Wuhan residents chose to stay in Wuhan. I can't say I have the courage of these temporary Wuhan residents, but I admire their courage.

I don't know if choosing to stay in Wuhan if you had nothing to offer counts as courage. You're just potentially adding another body to an already overloaded hospital system and nothing else. It has nothing to do with faith in the CCP; I have the utmost faith in their abilities but if I saw people dropping dead around me and tents in the streets erected as temporary hospitals, my first thought is to get the hell out of there unless they're looking for able-bodied men to help. I am sure the CCP will have it under control again and faster than anyone else in the world but right now, this is no place to be hanging around without purpose. Obviously, if you were quarantined to stay in the city, it would be anything but patriotic to find a way to break through a barricade to leave and I would never do that but if offered a safe and legitimate way out, I would be gone.
Maybe I don't take things too seriously. Also worried about spreading to others. When SARS hit, I was in one of the countries badly affected but I didn't feel worried about it and didn't want to move to another country.

I think you have COVID confused with the T-virus.
Guess I'm just foolhardy.
It's also partly the 舆论。The 舆论 of Chinese netizens was critical of those who chose the option to leave, and I agreed with the 舆论。

Unfortunately, the Brits and the Americans offered a legitimate way out, but it was not safe in any way.
@Crang: when C-19 started getting bad here in Canada, large numbers of Chinese students tried to get back home by any means possible, resulting in large numbers of imported C-19 cases in China. Is that supposed to be patriotism?
When Wuhan first got hit, Chinese people in North America emptied store shelves of masks to send back home. A few months later, they got blamed for importing C-19 cases into China. What is that supposed to be?
