Unexpected revelation about nCov virus: The first case did not come from the seafood market

Up to now, the Corona 2019-nCov virus in Wuhan has infected nearly 1400 people worldwide, with 41 deaths in China. Because of the outbreak, Wuhan was cordoned off on January 23, and the order to close has expanded to a total of 13 cities in Hubei province.

The virus's origins are thought to have originated in Wuhan's fresh seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, spread through wild animals on public display here. The market itself has been closed since January 1, 2020.

Recently, however, researchers in China revealed a surprising twist on the disease in Wuhan: the first person infected with the virus had never even visited the Flower Market . In other words, the virus may not originate from this market .

The first patient had no connection with the Hoa Nam Seafood Market in Wuhan.

Researchers from a team of seven experts working at Jin Yin Dam Hospital in Wuhan City were assigned to examine patients with viral infections. Recently, through a report in the medical journal The Lancet, they revealed that the symptoms of the disease actually appeared from December 1, 2019 - a lot earlier than the time the Wuhan authorities passed. reported 27 cases of pneumonia on December 31.

According to the report, the first patient did not have any contact with the Hoa Nam seafood market, which was later confirmed to spread the virus through wildlife trade. Experts also added that the patient's family member had no fever or had symptoms. In addition, there is no epidemiological link between the first patient and the following cases.

To this end, the experts analyzed data from 41 patients confirmed to have been infected with the virus from January 2, 2020. 6 of them were killed, leaving the mortality rate of the group at 15%. Experts also noted that the clinical symptoms of the patients were very similar to the acute respiratory infection.

The first patient who died of nCov virus went to Hoa Nam market continuously, before being hospitalized with 7 days of high fever, cough and shortness of breath. Five days later, the patient's wife (53 years old), who had never been to the market, was hospitalized with pneumonia symptoms, and was immediately quarantined.

The fact that the wife has never been to the market is one of the signs that the new virus has the ability to spread from person to person. In addition, 13 other patients never went to Hoa Nam market.

"Taken together, the evidence suggests that the 2019-nCov human-to-human transmission ability." - extract from research report. "We are concerned that the virus may soon mutate to spread more easily." - experts add, and recommend that people should be carefully prevented, with specialized masks for disease outbreaks.

Some people who do not have obvious symptoms can still get the virus.

Most of the infections in the study were male, and less than half of them had other comorbidities such as diabetes, blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Only 1 exception, all patients had a high fever. The common symptom for all is coughing, muscle aches, fatigue. Some cough up a lot of sputum, even blood, and have severe headaches and diarrhea.

In another study published in The Lancet on January 24, a team of doctors in Hong Kong (China), led by expert Yuen Kwok-yung, said the new virus was even present in people who do not have any obvious symptoms. That conclusion is based on data of a family of 7 at the University Hospital of Hong Kong - Shenzhen from 10-15 January.

6 family members were diagnosed with new corona virus infection. However, the 10-year-old son did not have any symptoms. It was only after scanning the lung that the boy was infected.

Up to now, the number of people infected with the virus has reached nearly 1,400, 41 people died, of which 39 came from Hubei, 1 from Hebei and 1 in Heilongjiang.
