Washington, United States: The first case of Covid-19 identified in Wuhan, China and presented as it by the world’s health organization actually a few days later believed to be previously and in the animal market, said a top scientist in the journal Science Thursday.
Instead of native patients became a man who had never been to Wuhan Market where wild animals and pets were sold, the first case known Covid-19 turned out to have become a woman who had worked on the market, a virologist Michael Worobey wrote.
For Worobey, the main things of the information, and the analysis of the initial Covid-19 case in the city, clearly thinning the scales against viruses from animals.
Without definitive evidence, the debate has been raged among experts since the commencement of Pandemi almost two years ago for the origin of the virus.
Worobey is one of 15 experts who in mid-May can publish columns in science which demand serious consideration of the thesis leaked by a virus from the laboratory in Wuhan.
In this latest article, he argues that his research on the origin of the plague “provides strong evidence of the animal market of live pandemics.”
One criticism of market theory is that because health authorities raise warnings about suspicious disease cases related to the market as early as December 30, 2019, which will introduce bias that leads to identifying cases more than anywhere else, because the attention has been pulled into it .
To overcome the argument, Worobey cases analyzed reported by two hospitals before the warning was raised.
These cases are also mostly related to the market, and those who are not geographically concentrated around it.
“In this city of this 11 million people, half of the initial cases were associated with a place with a soccer field size,” Worobey told the New York Times.
“It becomes very difficult to explain the pattern if the outbreak does not start from the market.”
Another criticism of theory is based on the fact that the first identified case is not related to the market.
But while the WHO report claimed the man who was originally identified as a zero patient had been ill since December 8, he was actually not sick until December 16, according to Worobey.
The reduction was based on the video interview he found, from a case described in scientific articles and from a hospital medical record that matched the 41-year-old man.
That means the first case reported was a woman who worked on the market, which fell ill on December 11.
Peter Daszak, a disease expert in the WHO investigation team, said he was convinced by Worobey’s analysis.
“December 8 is a mistake,” he told it at that time.
