57-year-old woman believ­es Chines­e govt could have checke­d spread of corona­virus had it acted sooner­A shrimp vendor at China’s Wuhan seafood market, where the coronavirus pandemic likely began, has been identified as one of the first victims of the disease and possibly the “patient zero”. The infestation has been contained by the Chinese government in Wuhan, where lockdown restrictions have been eased by the authorities. “I felt a bit tired, but not as tired as previous years,” she told The Paper, according to a translation by news.com.au. “I did not have the strength or energy.”On December 16, Wei went to Wuhan Union Hospital — one of the city’s biggest — to get checked out.
