I looked up his name in the county property records search; he lives lives two houses away from a nursing home, and is about six minute drive from me. Great, just great.

John McGory was preparing to return to central Ohio after teaching English in Wuhan, but he now finds himself among at least 48 million people who have been ordered on lockdown in central China after an outbreak of a new coronavirus strain that has left more than 50 dead and nearly 2,000 sick.
After teaching in China for the past six years, John McGory was ready to return home to Ohio and enjoy retirement. Then, the coronavirus hit.
The deadly virus is thought to have started in Wuhan, a central Chinese city where McGory had been teaching English to students at Jianghan University.
McGory, 65, of Westerville, was planning to move home within the next few weeks. But his plans changed when Wuhan was quarantined Thursday and deemed ground zero for the virus.
