Maatje Benassi, a US Army reservist and mother of two, has

 become the target of conspiracy theorists who falsely place

 her at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, saying 

she brought the disease to China.

The false claims are spreading across YouTube every day, so

 far racking up hundreds of thousands of apparent views, and

 have been embraced by Chinese Communist Party media.

Benassi and her husband are now subjects of discussion 

on Chinese social media about the outbreak, including 

among accounts that are known drivers of large-scale

coordinated activities by their

followers.

Whatever happens next, "the damage is done," according 

to Maatje Benassi. "I know it [will] never be the same. Every

time you're going to Google my name, it will pop up as

patient zero."
