Early Days of Wuhan’s Novel Coronavirus

It was around this time in October of 2016 when I came face to face with the possibility that I might die. For it had been nearly a whole year since I had been stricken with a debilitating cough, heart palpitations, and arrhythmia.

During this period I was in and out of A&E. Many mornings I awoke unable to breathe. Months and months passed and I began to despair. Things looked bleak. For it seemed that my respiratory condition might be permanent. I began to lose hope and started thinking about my death.
