Patient Zero Doesn’t Exist
The ward remembers a pandemic that never happened. A patient arrives with its first symptoms. In Lyon, Claire Veyron hears colleagues describe the same impossible crisis: emergency procedures, losses, decisions they supposedly made. Their collective memory might have remained a puzzle—until one admission turns comparison into a possible warning.
