Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17

SCMP: The first case of someone in China suffering from Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, can be traced back to November 17, according to government data seen by the South China Morning Post.

Chinese authorities have so far identified at least 266 people who were infected last year, all of whom came under medical surveillance at some point.

Some of the cases were likely backdated after health authorities had tested specimens taken from suspected patients.

Interviews with whistle-blowers from the medical community suggest Chinese doctors only realised they were dealing with a new disease in late December. read more

  1. Well, I’ll be damned! Never saw that one coming.

    Hate it for the first physician who tried to to alert the world to the CHINA WUHAN Flu. Read it and understand: the CHINA WUHAN Flu.

  2. It won’t be very much longer and we will all get to see how well Bernie’s favorite communist countries handle the ChiComavirus. Cuba and Venezuela are socialists countries with notoriously poor health care for the average citizens. Perhaps Bernie and Michael Moore will find a way to blame this on President Trump.

  3. Sanders is digging a hole so deep he can hear people cheering him in China.

    Harvesting organs from political dissidents is an acceptable compromise for a 40 year campaign to end “extreme poverty”. Murdering and disappearing non-violent pro-democracy activists that he fallaciously claims to support.

    Authoritarianism doesn’t die from enthusiastic sit-ins.
