This is the first patient of COVID-19

A new report has revealed that a vendor in a large Wuhan animal market was the first patient sickened with coronavirus

This refutes the World Health Organisation’s inquiry that found an accountant who lived many miles from the market to be the first covid case.

The new report will revive the debate over whether the pandemic began with a spillover from wildlife sold at the market, a leak from a Wuhan virology lab or some other way.

The scientist behind the revelation noticed timeline discrepancies when analysing coronavirus data in medical journals and within video interviews in a Chinese news outlet.

The researcher believes that this strongly suggests that the pandemic began at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.

Several experts have agreed that the first known case of covid was most likely a seafood market vendor.
