A young Chinese woman who was studying in Ireland recently became the target of online bullying after she and her father tested positive for the CCP virus.

After the daughter was diagnosed on Jan. 22 in her home town of Zhenjiang city in eastern Jiangsu Province, the local government locked down more and more residential compounds in the area where they lived. Residents are not allowed to leave their compound, while hundreds of people who live near the father and daughter were being forcibly sent to quarantine centers.
