He was probably more scared of the medical bill he'd run up in the U.S. than of the virus, so he fled.
Shameless started on 20 Jan, when the first non-Mainland case flew from Wuhan back to Taipei, having been symptomatic for 9 days, taking suppressants to avoid detection and declared herself on arrival, putting 46 other pax and crew in quarantine https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3047142

Is she right to look after number one?
Yes from a payoff perspective. Not likely she will he charged with manslaughter even if some of the other pax/crew die.
Very bad for her if she stayed. Unless she gets shot on arrival like the North Koreans, not enough disincentive to stop selfish people.
