Voices of coronavirus patients: ‘Wherever we go, no one cares’
People in Wuhan confirmed or suspected to have the virus share their experiences of seeking help
Li Lun is desperate. On Tuesday her husband was confirmed as having the Wuhan coronavirus, after weeks of suffering with a fever. They have not been able to get him admitted to a hospital or find space for him to quarantine himself.
The family of six – Li, 39, her husband, her in-laws and the couple’s two children, both disabled – live in close quarters in a three-bedroom apartment in Wuhan. They sent the children to an aunt on Monday. Li and her mother-in law have developed symptoms and both have confirmed lung infections, which some doctors say should be reason enough to be quarantined. Li has been vomiting and had diarrhoea.
