Illustration Revealed New Facts, China Finally Admits Corona Virus Not Originating from the Wuhan Market
Tuesday, June 2, 2020
UPDATimes - New facts about the origin of the Corona virus began to unfold a little.
Recently China issued a recognition that co-19 did not come from the market in Wuhan China.
Previously, the Corona virus, which is now spreading throughout the world, is said to have originated from traditional markets in Wuhan, China
China for the first time acknowledged that the Corona Virus did not originate from the traditional market in Wuhan China.
This shocking international confession came from a senior researcher who was also an official in the Chinese communist government.
The researchers, especially from the United States, then linked that the real source of the Corona Virus came from a Wuhan China virology laboratory.
"At first, we assumed the seafood market might have a virus, but now the market is more like a victim," said Gao Fu, director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is an amazing recognition, writes Dailymail today.
It is surprising because so far China and also the World Health Organization (WHO) insist that the Corona Virus is sourced from the animal market in Wuhan China.
However, US President Donald Trump continues to accuse China of not being transparent and yesterday broke off relations with WHO.
Earlier, Gao Fu firmly pointed fingers at the traders in the Wuhan China market where wild animals were sold when his country finally told the world about the deadly Corona Virus.
The market was closed and cleared like a crime scene, in the words of other experts, when global attention was focused on the terrible trade in wild animals.
Gao Fu's initial analysis made sense after a previous outbreak of the zoonosis virus (a disease that jumped from animals to humans).
But suspicion is growing over the failure of the Chinese government to share data from animal samples on the market after the initial close.
Now Gao Fu recognizes that no viruses have been detected in animal samples.
He said they were only found in environmental samples, including waste - before adding an interesting side that 'the new corona virus had existed long before'.
No one should doubt the significance of the statement because Gau is not only China's top epidemiologist but also a member of the country's main political advisory body.
Strangely, his disclosure followed a television interview with Wang Yanyi, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where he insisted that claims about diseases leaked from his security unit were 'pure fabrication'.
Gao Fu's sudden reversal came after a series of studies cast doubt on his original claim.

A well-known Lancet paper found only 27 of 41 confirmed cases that were 'exposed' to the market - and only one of the four initial cases in the first two weeks of December 2019.
Two weeks ago, The Mail on Sunday revealed another key academic paper by three US-based biologists who said all data showed that Corona Virus or Covid-19 was brought to the market by someone who was already infected.
So what does all this mean?
Unfortunately, the large number of research findings seems to be deeper than the spread of confusion about coronavirus, which is far more unexpected than the simple respiratory virus in the way it attacks the body.
As Gao said in another interview, this is the seventh Corona Virus that infects humans, but none of its predecessors acted like this strange.
"The behavior of this virus is not like coronavirus," he said.
With regard to the three American biologists, they were 'surprised' to find the virus 'had been pre-adapted to human transmission', a contrast of stability formerly known as Coronavirus which developed rapidly during the global Sars epidemic between 2002 and 2004.
Last week, Australian scientists also discovered Sars-CoV-2 - a new type of coronavirus that causes disease - "uniquely adapted to infect humans".
But Nikolai Petrovsky, vaccine researcher who heads the Australian team, said the virus was "not typical of a normal zoonotic infection" because it suddenly appeared with an "extraordinary" ability to enter humans from day one.
He also highlighted the 'furin cleavage site', 'which allows spike proteins to bind efficiently to cells in several human tissues, increase infectivity, and is absent in the most similar coronavirus.
Some experts say this might have evolved through mutations during 'unknown transmission to humans' after crossing from an animal.
Of course it will help to find an intermediary host like a weasel that 'strengthens' the Sars virus from bats.
Chinese Researcher vs. American Researcher
A paper by Professor Yong-Zhen Zhang, a leading Chinese expert, said this was the "most important difference" between the new virus and its closest relatives, a virus named RaTG13 originating from bats by Wuhan scientists.
Prof. Zhang also noted that the virus closest to the new virus was taken from bats in Yunnan, 1,000 miles from Wuhan China.
Although 96 percent are genetically similar, 'in fact this probably represents more than 20 years of evolutionary sequence'.
Last week, the Director of the Wuhan Virology Institute, Wang, said scientists in his laboratory had isolated and obtained coronavirus from bats but insisted they only had 'three types of living viruses'.
His claim was disputed and 'proven wrong' by biosecurity expert Richard Ebright, professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, New Jersey, who said the institute had published an analysis of more than three types of live bat Coronaviruses.
Few doubt this strange virus comes with a deadly disguise from an animal.
"Nature created this virus and has once again proven to be the most effective bio-terrorist," said Francis Collins, director of the US National Institutes of Health.
But this highly respected geneticist, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, added significantly: "Whether [coronavirus] can be somehow isolated and studied in this laboratory in Wuhan, we have no way of knowing."
Herein lies the key. It is foolish at this stage to rule out the possibility, however small, this pandemic might be as a consequence of the leakage of Chinese laboratories.
As Professor Petrovsky said, scientists everywhere working with microscopic viruses can make mistakes and there are many examples to prove this.
Most importantly, it is very important to find its origin. If this pandemic is a natural event, this pandemic can erupt again from the same source - and other times with a more explosive impact.
An example is ebola, another zoonotic disease (from fruit bats) that first appeared in 1976. All data indicate an outbreak caused less than 300 deaths - until the next outbreak in West Africa in 2014 caused 11,310 deaths
The problem was complicated by Donald Trump who pointed to Beijing and the fact that laboratory leakage was proven to be a major disaster for Chinese President Xi Jinping when he tried to exploit a pandemic to encourage his dictatorial creed and the nation's global leadership.
Perhaps the best argument against the idea of viruses made in the laboratory comes from Susan Weiss, professor of microbiology at Perelman School of Medicine, Pennsylvania.
"There is no way anyone could have designed this cruel virus," he said curtly.
