I was just found a tab on my phone with this CNN article: CNN Exclusive: WHO Wuhan mission finds possible signs of wider original outbreak in 2019 - https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/14/health/who-mission-china-intl... The investigators found evidence of 13 virus strains in Wuhan in December 2019: > As a result, they were able to gather for the first time 13 different genetic sequences of the SARS-COV-2 virus from December 2019. The sequences, if examined with wider patient data in China across 2019, could provide valuable clues about the geography and timing of the outbreak before December. > ... > Prof. Edward Holmes, a virologist at the University of Sydney, in Australia, said: "As there was already genetic diversity in SARS-CoV-2 sequences sampled from Wuhan in December 2019, it is likely that the virus was circulating for a while longer than that month alone." The point I'm trying to make here is that there's certainly a lot of facets of the pandemic that haven't been properly explained. |
