I thought about whether to call the police for help from the government,” Xiao said, but decided against it as he wasn’t sure if he had the COVID-19 illness.One morning, he realized a bat had entered the room — the animal scientists believe was probably the source of the virus that has now killed more than 2,200 people and infected 75,000 across China.By then, he had developed a serious cough.
On February 4, Xiao finally received confirmation of what he had long feared — he was infected with the coronavirus.Xiao initially had his own room but got a “roommate” as the hospital became more crowded.“There was a smell of disinfectant on the food that made me nauseous,” he said.
