A WestJet flight from Toronto to Montego Bay, Jamaica, was forced to turn around after a man stood up and declared he had contracted the coronavirus while on a recent trip to China.
The Peel Regional Police said in a statement that at about 1 p.m. local time on Monday, James Potok, 28, announced mid-flight that he had contracted the deadly virus, which has killed at least 426 people and infected more than 20,000 — the vast majority in China — across 24 countries.
According to the police, the announcement was shared with the flight crew, who decided to return to Toronto Pearson International Airport. The man was assessed upon landing back in Toronto at about 2 p.m. and was deemed symptom-free.
Potok was charged with mischief and is due in Ontario court in March.
Data from FlightRadar24 shows the plane's flight path. The aircraft appears to have turned around near Jacksonville, Florida, about two hours into the flight.

"I'm an artist," he said. "Any publicity for myself is good publicity." Potok makes music videos and has more than 34,000 followers on his Instagram account, which has now been set to private. A YouTube channel called Potok Philippe, which shares his music videos, has 715 subscribers. He also has a Spotify channel, which has about 11,000 monthly listeners. "I had my camera with me — I was looking to get a viral video," he said. "I was looking to get it up on all the social-media platforms.

I hope the other passengers on that flight take him to civil court and get his wages garnished to the tune of $75,000+

I would think there is a strong case for "self defense" to make this person stop breathing during the flight.

He should be on the hook for all costs associated with this. Bankrupt him and take any assets he may have.
Or just drop his arse in Wuhan

I hope the airline hits him with a several hundred thousand dollar suit for lost revenue, fuel costs, the costs of disinfecting the plane, depreciation, etc.
ETA: Isn't the captain on a flight the merciless god of his aluminum tube? He should have had the guy beaten within an inch of his life, then beaten for two more inches.

An artistic display should be made of his arse being dropped out of an airplane.

I’m really confused on why the turn around after going that far.
Just land the plane and go through the same protocols
