There is a little bit of controversy about whether this patient is a male or female.

In post 2, which is the Guangdong health government announcement, the character in Chinese for woman is displayed 女 at the link to the original language version.

男 is the character for male and is not displayed in the original language version of the announcement. Since Guangdong provincial health is the originating source of the information, I am not going to change the entry "Female" on our case list at this time.
