Coronavirus Global Health Emergency, 2019-nCoV

[Tadpole12]

As to your question of patient zero, don't know if just one as that has not been determined, but it has been widespread said by all that it was first found in December 2019, ergo the name of the virus 2019-nCoV.

Right, first cases reported Dec 31, 2019.

From the DailyMail
Communities around China order residents to get rid of their pets ....

"The first human cases were publically reported from the Chinese city of Wuhan, where approximately 11 million people live,
after medics first started seeing infections December 31.

By January 8, 59 suspected cases had been reported and seven people were in critical condition. Tests were developed for the new virus and recorded cases started to surge.

The first person died that week and, by January 16 two were dead
and 41 cases were confirmed."


So the Chinese data is valid?

Australian researchers are tasked with forming a clearer picture of the deadly new coronavirus in order to pave the way for testing potential vaccines.

The CSIRO has been asked by a global group that aims to derail epidemics to help determine the key characteristics of the virus.

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations wants to know how long the virus takes to develop and replicate, how it affects the respiratory system and how it is transmitted.

This makes me wonder what the medics were seeing so early on that made them realize it was something beyond a bad strand of flu ?

And, my opinion only, I’m not yet convinced that the data coming from China is accurate. Whether or not China is purposely underreporting is another conversation altogether, but with the pure volume they are dealing with, coupled with space restraints and understaffing for an event of this magnitude, I’m sure there is a fair amount of inaccurate data being provided.

Carrying permits demanding "fast passage", truck drivers rushed a 560-tonne shipment of disinfectant from eastern China to Wuhan, the locked-down city of 11 million people at the centre of a vast effort to contain the new coronavirus disease.
Outside the metropolis in central China, the cargo was shifted to local trucks with drivers in masks and protective suits, part of a tightly controlled flow of food and other supplies through checkpoints that have blocked most access to Wuhan since January 23.
As global anxiety about the new virus rises, authorities have blocked 50 million people from leaving Wuhan and nearby cities at the centre of the outbreak. That in turn requires a massive effort to keep them supplied with food and other necessities.
