Teenage Girl From Wuhan Shares How Dramatically Her Life Was Changed During The Coronavirus Outbreak
116Kviews
After the first person contracted the novel coronavirus at the beginning of December, a local Chinese doctor named Li Wenliang started raising alarms about the virus. However, the doctor was detained by authorities and accused of spreading rumors. A month later, Chinese authorities identified the novel coronavirus. By the end of January, Wuhan, which was confirmed to be the source of the virus, was put under lockdown. Movement was restricted in and out of the city. Panic started to set in.
Recently, someone translated a Chinese girl’s plea for help, which she posted on a Chinese social media platform called Weibo. Titled the “Diary of a girl in Wuhan”, the translated social media posts detail her experiences following the quarantine of the city’s 60 million residents. (Facebook cover image: James Watkins)

After her heartbreaking posts gained traction, many people began offering help. The girl was also contacted by local journalists. A couple of days ago, her friend made an update saying that she is being treated in the hospital.

Terrifying and sad.
This nightmare started in early December 2019, but was suppressed. I hate to even mention worse news, the Ebola virus has had a major outbreak in East Africa and the world is distracted by the China crisis and the idiot Trump. In the end, the Ebola outbreak may turn out worse as Trump cut the Center for Disease Control by 30% and the orange idiot does not believe in science. We are all so screwed!
Actually the proposed budget contains an overall 9% cut to the CDC, and raises the budget for infection disease activities. ORANGE MAN BAD LOL
I wish I could voice hope to everyone, but the time for good wishes has passed. Look for the channel: serpentza on YouTube. The man spent 10 years in China teaching doctors english. He has friends in the medical community (his wife is a Chinese MD). He tells the truth. I alerted the CDC about this channel because his information is more accurate and timely then other media outlets. I am not a shill for YouTube, I want the truth no matter how bad it may be. To ignore is to fall ill or worse. Look, listen, and judge for your self. Be safe!

You know, this story does not line up with what I've been hearing. They say it's no more deadly than a standard flu. If that were the case, why all the fuss about quaranties. And as for this story, who has ever lost their parents to a standard flu this way? Maybe if they were in their 80s. Even then it would be unusual for them to die within days of each other. If this were a young girl or teenager, her parents wouldn't be in their 80s. That's not to say it isn't sad when someone of 80 dies of the flu, but that is very different from now being afraid of dying of it at age 52, or the horrible fear of my 30-yo son dying of it. The happenings don't line up with the official reports.
Here are some numbers: 2018-2019 flu season --> est. 42.9 million infected (USA), 61,200 deaths (more absolute deaths than Corona); % of death = 0.14%. Corona: current known infected (China alone): 74,188, with 2012 deaths; % of death = 2.71% -- that's a factor of about 20...No one quarantines because of the flu so infection rates are MUCH higher but the flu is 20 times less lethal. That's not to say if you get this Corona virus you're dead; not in the least. The very old, the very young, those who have compromised immune systems, etc are the most susceptible. There may still be other factors as yet unknown or unannounced. No one should panic but at the same time this shouldn't be ignored. We caution people about the flu every year and this is clearly a notch or so more dangerous. Keep calm and wash your hands...
@Marnie: If you were at all aware of the situation in China, you'd realize that their government has a long history of suppressing any perceived loss of "control" by admitting even to the most obvious threats... Such as viruses. Also, there's no vaccine for coronavirus, whereas flu vaccines can ameliorate if not totally prevent influenza. ..................It's also not uncommon for people to die close together. Read up on immunology, epidemiology, and the Chinese government, and take a look at the stats ----- people of 50 DO die of flu even in the USA, due to crappy health care. With respect? You are dangerously naive.
It depends on where you are, what kind of medical care you have access to, how quickly you have been diagnosed, etc. The 14 day quarantine is because it can take that long from the time you're infected until symptoms show, so if you're walking around infected and don't know it, you could be unknowingly spreading the virus. I'm not sure what "official" reports you're reading, but this lines up with everything I have heard about it.
My heart aches for her, the ending is like a cruel cliffhanger, does anyone know if she is alright?
This all happened over 20 days as well D:
So scary and sad. . If you put in perspective that the doctor trying to warn people of the sickness was sent to jail and forced to sign confession. It took one month for the locals authorities to admit what he saw immediately. All could have been avoided. . So many people life destroyed for the sake of the "Country Stability". .
Yes the doctor who first reported the Coronovirus in China was silenced and died recently.
Marnie..not sure where you are getting your info from, but the reports say this is an illness that is like the flu...on steroids. The flu makes you cough, wheeze, throw up, have diarrhea. The Coronavirus is 10 times worse..a flu that is accelerated. While flu sufferers experience mild bronchial swelling, Coronavirus sufferer experience swelling that shuts down their ability to breathe. And it's not just the very young and very old that are dying from it...a large number of people are over the age of 40. If your immune system is compromised by any other condition (obesity, diabetes, liver or kidney disorders..) you probably will not survive infection. The vaccine for this won't be ready until summer. There are a lot of people that are going to die by then.
and that he has also died of this ...

Consider your statement: "So many life destroyed," yet I keep hearing that this virus is no more deadly than a standard flu. I just don't see how the official reports line up with what we're hearing otherwise.
The presumed death rate doesn't seem high for now, but the way the virus spreads it has the potential to be very deadly in absolute numbers. It's not just about how many people die per infected, it's also about how many are actually infected. If now measures would be taken, this virus would spread with great ease and then a 2% death rate will have a huge impact. Also, the way the virus acts is terrible. It actually causes destruction of lung tissue. People who go through a critical phase and survive end up with permanent damage and an increased risk to further lung disease and because people 40 and up seem more affected than other age groups, it will take a toll on a very specific part of the workforce. So. Yeah. It sucks.
