[alexharv074]

Should this document attempt to discuss China's claim that it has identified Patient Zero, per this article: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back

Eh, that article clearly states "'patient zero' has yet to be confirmed"...

[alexharv074]

@sanxiyn article also states:

According to the government data seen by the Post, a 55 year-old from Hubei province could have been the first person to have contracted Covid-19 on November 17.

If true, what would be the implications here?

Interesting article by Chinese Xiao Bian News New York Chinese News Wuhan pneumonia Luo Shengmen: Who told the truth? Who is lying again?

After SARS, China has established a monitoring information system for infectious diseases and public health emergencies in China. As long as unidentified pneumonia is found, even the most basic-level hospitals must report cases directly on this network direct reporting system. Theoretically Received by China CDC as soon as possible.

However, on December 1, a medical paper stated that Wuhan had discovered the first patient. From December 17 to 27, patients with persistent unexplained pneumonia were admitted every day, and a maximum of 8 people were hospitalized on the day. In the context of continued large numbers of unknown pneumonia admissions, the Wuhan leadership stated that the first patient was learned only on December 27, too late. In its January notification, the Wuhan Health and Welfare Committee first stated that the earliest case was December 12 and then changed to December 8, which was inconsistent and without any explanation.

1. When was the first (and first) patient discovered? December 1, 2019 On December 1st, the first unidentified pneumonia patient appeared in Wuhan. This patient has no history of exposure to the South China Seafood Market, and none of his family members have developed a fever or any respiratory symptoms. December 10 Three patients with unknown pneumonia were admitted to the hospital. Among them was the first patient with a history of exposure to South China Seafood City. There was no epidemiological link between this patient and the first patient. This means that at least the South China seafood market should not be regarded as the only source of viruses.

Source: "The Lancet": Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China, hereinafter referred to as "The Lancet" https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltext#%20

2. When do you start to be vigilant? In December, after the first patient appeared, cases began to accumulate. Wuhan ’s CDC only transmitted the pneumonia epidemic on December 30 through internal documents.

In the WeChat group of Level 04 (146) of Wuhan University Forest Farm, Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan City Central Hospital, revealed: 7 cases of SARS were diagnosed in the South China Fruit and Seafood Market, and documents were attached with a diagnosis report posted. The report showed that: "High confidence" positive indicators SARS coronavirus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 46 oral cavity / respiratory colonization bacteria.

3. When did you realize that the disease can be passed on from person to person? January 1st, there have been cases of husbands infecting their wives, which has shown the possibility of passing on from person to person.

Between January 1st and 15th, it was questionable whether "Lancet" Cao Bin, appeared as a member of the medical team at the Jinyintan Hospital on January 1st, had learned about the couple's illness and possible human-to-human transmission.

"interpersonal communication occurred among close contacts in December 2019." Therefore, it questioned the China CDC and Hubei CDC where the main author Cao Bin was located.

considering the epidemic, the publication rate of related papers has accelerated, from submission to online publishing. It can be completed in 48 hours.
