China's going nuts

It's the same irrational fear. The Ukrainians returning from Wuhan are going to be quarantined until it's determined it's safe to release them into the public. It just shows how some people lose their humanity when confronted with a fear they don't know how to control. Those people who are released from quarantine will probably face stigmatization and shunning when they are released, because, well, some people are just ignorant.

But to be fair, maybe those protesting Ukrainians, knowing how corrupt and inept their government is, are understandably terrified of what could go wrong.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. Witchcraft doesn't kill people, viruses can and do.

ETA that religion is all about control, just like government

Every government but ours is inept and corrupt? That is hilarious

I didn't say that, but the US is nowhere near as inept as Ukraine is. It's probably more corrupt, though.

China's going mad. Maybe it already was and just needed a trigger.

Well yes, actually, you did. China, Russia, Ukraine are all corrupt and inept. People get away with all kinds of things in those countries but they get in trouble in the US. To me that implies that you believe our government is less inept or corrupt than those other places.
China is ground zero for this outbreak, more is needed there to prevent the spread than simply quarantining a few people that came home from there on military bases like the US is doing.

This didn't have to happen. China could have nipped the coronavirus thing in the bud when it first appeared; instead they denied and tried to hide it.

This is getting a lot of coverage in the media. The two were Chinese octogenarians (80+ year olds). Still waiting to see if this disease is virulent for the entire population.
