While the discussions about when, where and how the Covid-19 pandemic, which will complete its second year next month, first emerged, an article published in the journal Science clarified the subject with the most definitive statements to date. As a natural result, the suspicions intensifying in the city of Wuhan, China, where the epidemic started, have now become more certain.
Thanks to the article published in the journal Science; The conspiracies that the epidemic was produced in a laboratory inside or outside of China or that it was organized by different forces were once again debunked. According to WHO reports, which are based on research rather than conspiracies, the first patient was a 41-year-old accountant who lived kilometers away from Wuhan, who went to the city center hospital on 8 December 2019 for dental problems and was diagnosed with coronavirus on 16 December. However, this new research also nullified WHO’s reports.
Who is the first Covid-19 patient in the world?
According to the findings, Covid-19 for the first time; It was also seen in a female salesperson named Wei Guixian, who was working at the animal market in Wuhan, China, which was the ground zero of the epidemic, and fell ill on December 11, 2019. Thus, a new one was added to the evidence that the epidemic was seen in the animal market in Wuhan. This information was previously disclosed by the Wall Street Journal, but the latest research has made the findings even more certain.
According to the research written by Michael Wotobey, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona in the USA; The area where the first cases in Wuhan emerged was only the size of a football field.
Why is it important to understand the origin of the epidemic?
To understand the origin of an epidemic that took the lives of more than 5 million people worldwide in 2 years, the effects of which the recoveries will be exposed in their remaining lives, and the whole world mobilized for vaccine and drug studies; It will make it easier to take early precautions against similar threats in the coming years.
