Reminds me of this tweet [0] from the chair of the NYC health council committee.

He wrote, "If you are staying away, you are missing out!" - called those who stayed away from Chinatown "racist" - then tested positive for COVID-19 a week later.

Did he get infected in Chinatown? Were there good reasons to assume there would be more infected there? Recent reports suggest the majority of Corona imports into NYC came from Europe. Joining a large event full of people seems like the bigger issue.

Around here, somehow people got scared about Taiwanese that haven't left Germany in years, but not their buddies that have been traveling a lot.

Which is exactly what he did...in Chinatown.
