On January 28, the news of Jilin Tonghua City informing about the source of infection 0 of the Epidemic hit Weibo hot search, informing that Tonghua City Dongchang District People’s Procuratorate intervened and guided the investigation in advance. However, netizens accused that it was because of the local officials concealing the truth that the epidemic spread, but shifted the responsibility to the general public and suppressed it with criminal case procedures. Netizens have spat out.
“This bloom, get sick, and will be accused of obstructing the control of infectious diseases? How many cases, was infected, normal work trajectory, was a variety of human flesh, exposing private information, and some were finally forced to apologize. Now even more outrageous came out, got sick, but also become a crime? If being sick is also a crime, then this society, it is really sick.”
On January 28, the city of Tonghua, Jilin, informed that the source of infection No. 0 of the epidemic had been confirmed, saying that the asymptomatic infected person of Heilongjiang origin, Lin Moumou, was the “source of infection No. 0” of the epidemic in Tonghua, and that he had gone to Dongchang District to promote the sale of his products. The report also said that the Dongchang District Branch of the Public Security Bureau opened an investigation into the case on January 17 for the crime of obstructing the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and on January 22, the Tonghua Dongchang District People’s Procuratorate intervened in advance to lead the investigation into the case of obstructing the prevention and control of infectious diseases at the “Yuan Sheng Quality Living Place” on Xinzhan Street in Tonghua’s Dongchang District.
According to official media reports, Lin, a marketer selling health Food flaxseed oil, traveled to Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces several times between January 6 and 11 to give four sales seminars for middle-aged and elderly people in the form of centralized training: one in Gongzhuling, Changchun, with 38 participants; three in Tonghua, with 107 participants, for a total of 145 people. Most of the participants were middle-aged and elderly, with an average age of 63 years old, of which the oldest was 88 years old.

According to Free Asia, local informants confirmed that not only were the store owners involved arrested, but even their stores were officially sealed. The surrounding area is now more affected, but they have no way of knowing exactly how many people have been infected and arrested.
There are also net posts pointing out that the government’s failure to report the epidemic has caused the epidemic to get completely out of control, resulting in the deterioration of the livelihood of the lower class, and the government has not only failed to give a helping hand, but has instead fallen on its sword.
Mainland netizens have questioned the rationality and legality of this approach by the authorities in Tonghua, Jilin.
“What do you mean? Isn’t this a normal business activity? How can it be a crime? The sickness is criminalized?”
“Please make it clear. If you organize a gathering event knowing that you or your employees are infected, that should be criminalized. Which law is the criminalization based on a normal business activity under any circumstances?”
“If this patient 0 or asymptomatic infected person, did not lie during the flow transfer and did not violate the anti-epidemic regulations, then the reason to arrest him is not valid.”
“I had this concern before that if a person didn’t know they were infected and caused the spread of the infection in their Life, would they be arrested, and my friend said I was worrying about how it was possible. It does not seem impossible.”
“‘One person has harmed a city’? This idea is really arrogant and terrible ah ~ what is wrong with the sick normal people who want to be sick! The problem in Tonghua is not at all in the 0 patient but in the serious malfeasance of the local government agencies!”
“Can you be more specific? Why is it a crime for a person from Heilongjiang to go to Tonghua to do sales promotion? Was Lin smuggled to Tonghua with the clear knowledge of his infection or quarantine status? Why should anyone be convicted if these are not made clear?”
“When everyone is faced with their own asymptomatic infection and unknowingly infecting others, this extremely arbitrary scale of law enforcement finally starts to put people on alert and make everyone feel a huge sense of insecurity. In fact, similar casual law enforcement incidents have happened many times, except that everyone used to think “as long as they don’t ……”, but now, no one can guarantee that they “won’t be infected “. Infection is no longer just a simple matter of getting sick, patients not only face the risk of being net violent, but also the possibility of being sentenced to prison.”
“If you say you are 0, you are 0. What is the difference between this and bending over backwards? City departments are really disgusting, serious before they start to investigate, once the investigation to seal the city’s neighborhoods. They have food to eat and do not care about others!”
“Tonghua government wants to shift the contradiction, naive people are not stupid …… he himself is asymptomatic, and do not know that they are diagnosed, illegal also violated in the illegal marketing, rather than hinder The prevention of infectious diseases, right?
