New investigation into coronavirus origin: ‘Uhan’s first known patient on market’

A new study for the first patient with coronavirus was published in the journal Science, with a scientist claiming that a seller bought it Ohan was the first known case of covid-19.

According to the New York Times, a scientist examining public reports of early Covid-19 cases in China said on Thursday that a World Health Organization study had probably made a mistake about the pandemic date.

The new analysis suggests that the first known patient to become ill with corpivirus was a salesman at a large Wuhan Animal Market rather than an accountant living several miles away.

The report, published Thursday in the prestigious journal Science, will bring new debates about whether the pandemic started with wildlife sold on the market, by a leak from a Wuhan virology laboratory or otherwise.

The search for the source of the greatest public health disaster in a century has fueled geopolitical battles, with little new evidence emerging in recent months to resolve the issue.

What the scientist claims

The scientist, Michael Worobey, a leading specialist in detecting the evolution of viruses at the University of Arizona, found deviations in the schedule by looking at what had already been published in medical journals, as well as interviews with a Chinese news agency.

Dr Worobey argues that the seller’s links to the wholesale seafood market, as well as a new analysis of the first connections of hospitalized patients to the market, strongly suggest that the pandemic started there.

“In this city of 11 million people, half of the first cases are related to a place the size of a football pitch,” said Dr. Worobey. from the market”.
