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?
