Before we knew it was a pandemic
On a Tuesday morning, just over a year ago, shrimp vendor Wei Guixian went to work.
She felt tired, but persevered and went about her day selling live seafood at Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Market.
She dismissed her lethargy and put it down to the seasonal flu that she catches every year. But for peace of mind, Wei walked to the local health clinic for an assessment and an injection.
The next day, her condition deteriorated. She made another trip to another hospital to get a second opinion. She left with a prescription and no helpful answers.
