’Life is short’: Wuhan’s COVID-19 survivors share lessons one year on

Live Mint  

In late 2019, Wuhan businesswoman Duan Ling and her surgeon husband Fang Yushun began to hear snippets in hospital chat groups about a disease emerging in the city's respiratory wards. Fang probably caught the disease in the hospital where he works, but the couple also lived within walking distance of Wuhan's Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market, where several initial cases were linked, which led to the discovery of the disease. While 3,869 people would eventually die of coronavirus in Wuhan, he suffered only a moderate case and still had to go to work even after he began showing symptoms, Duan remembers. "There is nothing left to say for me," said one Wuhan woman surnamed Chen, who caught the disease along with her mother, father and sister in January.
