If a scientist intends to politicise a pandemic, the most unscientific method would be the generation of populist theories without gathering further insight on their data.
A 55-year-old from China’s Hubei province — believed to have been diagnosed with Covid-19 on 17 November 2019 — could have been the ‘patient zero’, according to one account.
Wuhan, the Chinese city where the first cases of COVID-19 were recorded, has largely returned to normal following draconian measures to keep the virus in check.
In an interview to a UK channel, Dr Li-Meng Yan claimed she was assigned to a team that was undertaking a 'secret investigation' about the outbreak in Wuhan in December 2019.
Shi Zhengli, deputy director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, said their lab hadn’t seen or studied the novel coronavirus before reports of the disease first emerged in the city.
‘Mother kept pouring water in our eyes whenever the burning became unbearable. She pushed our bodies deep into the blanket, making sure not a single part was exposed,’ my father said.
December oil imports from Russia may drop nearly 50%, but Indian buyers already shifting to non-designated Russian entities and opaque trading channels to keep Russian oil flowing.
The helicopters produced by Lockheed Martin are known as ‘submarine hunters’. India ordered 24 of these aircraft in 2020 to replace the Sea King helicopters. 15 have been delivered till date.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
When I was on business trip to China 2 years ago, none of the media ever talk about India or any other country. Here our media talk day in and out what happens in China, even though none of these information have any relevance to India.
The best country Israel, where I never used hear negative news or fighting on the border there. That was the spirit.
You said that the study is not peer reviewed. Then lets wait for it.
The study that definitely showed the bats that SARS came from was published in 2017. This was roughly 15 years after the first outbreak in 2002.
China is unreasonable as usual. But, why the attack now? Is it because Indians have lost a friend in US?
How did a ‘tsunami’ suddenly from out of nowhere come to Tamilnadu and Andamans? There is no history of such for eons. Was China testing something underwater?
Indian Sumaiya Shaikh PhD is an Australian-Swedish neuroscientist, her profession and knowledge has zero credibility to comment on virologists paper.
In fact she tried to twist and turn her tongues blaming China for politicized the research is plain foolish and laughable.
Such genome mapping of centralized global data open to public is concurrently carried out by many virologists to trace and study the outbreak pattern. Nobody can make up story as all result can be reproduced and verified by anyone. Published paper will be subjected to peer review and scrutiny.
No scientists will make themselves a fool globally to ruin their own reputation, except two India scientists who rush to recklessly claimed COVID has AIDS inserted without substantiated research backing. They were forced to retract their uploaded flawed paper.
China, Jp, Taiwan & UK Cambridge scientists had previously derived similar conclusion that US is likely the source since it alone had all the mutated strains generation of “A”, “B”, “C”. “A” been the earliest strains.
Whereas China’s strain is “B”, while outside it in Asia and EU is mainly mutated “C”. US, Taiwan and Oz have strains “A”, the earliest oldest strain, but US alone has all the strains implying US is likely the earliest source that spread.
These results were widely reported in science journals and global news papers.
As more global infection data is available to scientists, they might narrow further to the earliest source of outbreak to find out patient zero, which is narrowed to India currently.
In fact India is found to have widest outbreak and extremely high population% with COVID antibody. As of Sep2020, sampling test found Delhi has 33% population with COVID antibody, while Pune has 85%. That implies India may have 400Mils to 1Bil infections by now, achieving close to Herd Immunity.
However, Israel is strangely the only country refuse to provide its nation COVID data for global centralized research. Do they have something to hide?
Israel was first to claim had ready vaccines on Feb2020, derived from its research dated 5yrs ago on exactly similar COVID virus out of pure “coincidence” they said.
But they are still struggling with outbreak with no effective vaccines developed till date. Recently they even have “taken” China vaccines secretly back to study.

In a recent article in the party newspaper Global Times t was claimed that Wuhan virus came from USA thru shipments.
