When I learned of the misinformation, I researched numerous sources that published the original article.
The Center for Disease Control undoubtedly is the most trusted source, and an infected patient is indeed a man.
Neighbors in Woodbridge, my trusted source from SVG and I have all misled the sex because of the google translate glitch I discovered this morning by copy and pasted the original Chinese article referring the patient only as ?he or him? and the only reference to a female was ?daughter attending IVC.? Google translated ? to visit her daughter,? and that started the connotation the mother of a female student got infected with the coronavirus.
Below is the link to the original Chinese article

This is the content of the Chinese text followed by the English translation. Google screwed up big time:

Today, the CDC from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently confirmed:
This Southern California patient is the third patient in the United States to be diagnosed with a new type of pneumonia virus from China.
What we worry about still happens
First patient diagnosed with new type of coronary pneumonia in California still appears
And in the Chinese community-Orange County, Greater Los Angeles, Southern California
He traveled to Orange County, Los Angeles from Wuhan. The patient was in his 60s, and yesterday, midnight on Saturday, officially confirmed a positive virus test.
There is unconfirmed news that the patient came from Wuhan to visit her daughter who is studying at IVC in Bay Area Community University.
Irvine Valley College is also a well-known community college in Irvine, with many international students from China.
A spokesman for the agency said the patient is currently in isolation at a hospital and is doing well.
Currently, following consultations with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health, all individuals in close contact with the case and at risk of infection are being directly followed.
Any close contacts will be monitored and ensured that appropriate assessments and care are provided when they become ill.
Guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that people who have had casual contact with the case (at the same grocery store or movie theater) have the lowest risk of infection.
But what worries us more is that Orange County lies between Los Angeles and San diego. Irvine, popular with new Chinese immigrants, is in Orange County. By 2016, Asians had become Irvine's largest ethnic group.

Reviews:
-Should stay at home and isolate myself, knowing what is the difference between flying to LA and escaping under the circumstances of the Wuhan epidemic, it is dangerous to hang out, the pit school and the surrounding Los Angeles people, and those who are on the plane are in danger Now ...
-The Chinese in Irvine have found his course. The child is studying at Irvine valley college, living in Woodbridge, arriving on Wednesday, eating Haidilao on Thursday, seeing a doctor on Friday, and the hospital is at the junction of Tustin and Santa ana Everyone informed each other that people who went to Haidilao to eat or who had visited this hospital also isolated themselves.
