I was thinking about this gentleman:
5:12 pm Feb 19and wondering who he pissed off.
South Korea appointed Kang Seung-seok as the new Consul General in Wuhan. Kang will depart for Wuhan Wednesday night, aboard a cargo plane carrying relief materials, including medical gloves to aid the city, reported Yonhap News COVID19
That's from China's Global Times' coronavirus updates (also on blogroll at right)
The good news is I was inspired to double-check the GT story at the SCMP and found the capitalist spirit is alive and well amidst the death and illness.
First off we have confirmation that Mr. Kang has indeed been dispatched to Wuhan:

Meanwhile, I am going to make inquiries as to the addressable market for "Battle of Pathogens"
