would be interesting to know where/how did the SCMP get this, anyway
Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17
  • Government records suggest first person infected with new disease may have been a Hubei resident aged 55, but ‘patient zero’ has yet to be confirmed
  • Documents seen by the Post could help scientists track the spread of the disease and perhaps determine its source

Factual mistake in the article

On December 27, Zhang Jixian, a doctor from Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, told China’s health authorities that the disease was caused by a new coronavirus. By that date, more than 180 people had been infected, though doctors might not have been aware of all of them at the time.

No, Zhang Jixian only reported that there was a new disease. The cause of the disease, the novel coronavirus, was only discovered later with lab sequencing. Don't journalists do basic fact-checking anymore?

As for the November 17 patient, it's most likely backtraced. Now China has serological tests available, researchers can search medical records for suspicious cases of pneumonia and test the patient (if survived) for COVID-19. Did WHO say there were serological researches underway?

I don't want to have a beef with anyone here. If I really have offended him/her by my remark then I am sorry but I don't know of any comment when I insulted him/her for his/her ethnicity. Anyway to the respected mods: sorry for the trouble for having to check and remove my posts.
Wish master Jura and the respected mods a great day.

I think you called Eastern European S***s if my memory is correct. Master Jura hails from that part of the world.
Anyway, Master Jura is many things, but holding grudges is not one of them. I think he is cool with that. So let it drop and move on.
