Luc 4,776 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 But how is that possible? This virus is highly contagious, there's no way it spread back in september in Italy but didn't very quickly cause hospitalisations and the like. Is there a possibility there was a less contagious strain back then? Or is it likely that there's mistakes in the antibodies tests used for these discoveries?

venusfly 17,885 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Isn't this very old pre-pandemic news? The first news I heard of Covid was in 2019, too. Australia were even taking precautions of it end of 2019/January 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had several live animals of different species stacked on top of each other, spilling bodily fluid on the cages below. A SARs virus jumps from one species (probably a bat) to another (maaayybe a pangolin??) and then to a human. This has happened before in China because these wet markets are extremely dirty. Top health experts knew that a dangerous virus could easily mutate out of this one in Wuhan, but China let it go unregulated. It was not a matter of if, but when. And of course, there's now tons of evidence that China ignored the virus for a long time, or at least kept it secret. I hate Trump more than anyone on planet Earth, but the international community should really hold China accountable for this virus, especially with mounting evidence like this.

It's likely that deaths were misdiagnosed as pneumonia back then. But we know this virus spreads exponentially. So slower at first, and then skyrocketing. So we wouldn't expect massive hospitalization immediately. This explains why Italy was one of the first European nations to have massive exponential spread, soon followed by most other nations.

Gagi 2,750 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I mean OBVIOUSLY it did not just arise in February/March It must have been around for some months... and if you believe it or not but my mom and brothers all were very sick in the end of December 2019 WITH loss of taste. Was degraded as „the flu“ though but for sure not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
