The novel coronavirus might have been spreading in China as early as August 2019, according to Harvard research

LONDON - Beijing dismissed as “ridiculous” a Harvard Medical School study of hospital traffic and search engine data that suggested the new coronavirus may already have been spreading in China last August, and scientists said it offered no convincing evidence of when the outbreak began.

“While we cannot confirm if the increased volume was directly related to the new virus, our evidence supports other recent work showing that emergence happened before identification at the Huanan Seafood market ,” they said. “It’s an interesting piece of work, but I’m not sure it takes us much further forward,” said Keith Neal, a professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases at Britain’s Nottingham University.

“In August, we identify a unique increase in searches for diarrhea which was neither seen in previous flu seasons or mirrored in the cough search data,” it said.

According to a survey, the number of vehicles on the road in the United States decreased by 90% during the outbreak of the pandemic, so it can be inferred that 90% people in the United States have died.

As an ordinary citizen instead of a scientist, I also dismiss this ridiculous search engine data. There’s no rigid cause-effects relationship.

Normal people wouldn’t believe this sh*t from Harvard anyway

To be honest I wouldn't expect the current Chinese government to do anything else. Perhaps they could supply an alternative readon for the sudden spike, however we don't have to believe it.

Why not study the data of American 'influenza' from last winter? You might find actual coronavirus cases there. Hospital traffic can only SUGGEST but never PROVE anything.

Harvard Medical School should study these actual medical cases of a cluster outbreak in Springfield VA back in July 2019, instead of studying hospital traffic and search engine data.....

I'm shocked.

Of course they did.

Harvard is just a joke. Chinese scientists are 100 times better

All countries should send their spies to Corona China 👹 to unearth the Truth 😠

The research results are the same as they originally proposed, congratulations 🎈🎉🍾.

I'm not sure even China knows the answer to that. One thing is sure that they knew it was released and hid it from the world yet protected their own country.

No shit !

Police participate in the funeral of George Florid to his final resting place

Continued tracking of data will prove that Wuhan was NO accident

China denying responsibility... Shocking...

Wuhan pneumonia virus is the greatest invention of the CCP.

just say it: the whole narrative has been total bs

你们是唯恐天下不乱,造谣生事,不靠真本事,代表西方衰落的开始

Imagine the character of nation who cause half a million death, a million infected, multi-million pushed to poverty across world....Still encroaching neighbours land,inciting riots in West rather then apologising & compensating to world. CCP_is_terrorist shameful CCPChina

At least they say it right. The novel. A myth. All to impose fear and beggin some plan to mass world policial state surveilance

is there evidence? I think Harvard created the virus.

such a speculative analysis

Published in 'The Lancet' !!!

typical blame-shifting. has reuters ever read the message thoroughly before it tweeted? what a so called famous media!

Many protesters were willing to fight for our freedom against the government though they knew they might be caught and imprisoned. And now some of them are detained. Wish that they are all fine. And hope that you guys can be concerned about them. From Hongkonger

Curious how spy satellite images can be used in academic publications.

So because a hospital parking list was full during regular influenza and cold season, it means it was thete ? Gtfoh

Harvard reputation’s biggest crisis.

I don’t think we will find the zero one first . but yes I do believe it was in circulation way before it was discovered , it’s worrying as it means it went undetected, and if proven right given time , what can we learn that’s my point.

The model that said 2 million would die was batshit crazy. That model justified the worldwide lockdown. Couple that with the new study showing that asymptomatic people DO NOT infect others reinforces batshit. Asymptomatic was used to justify masks. The whole wuhan flu is bullshit

Can we go outside now?

Oh!...

mizdonna Ask BillGates . He KNOWS.

Could be even earlier in the US. The US had an outbreak of a suspicious respiratory illness in July. According to the ABC news, the symptoms are exactly the same to COVID-19. What was that? The US refused to investigate.

you forget fort derick

Then what is the influenza in US last half year?

We can't leave this riddle unaddressed as it is linked to the saftey and future of human race. Whether our tyranny on nature or our obsessions in virology for bio-warfare or vampire-strategy of business, the COVID19 data is must & must. WHO UN A serious job for China ahead.

now this....

what the fuck. someone something search engine data suggest this?!

Makes sense

This headline is 100% misleading - the article is actually about epidemiologists dismissing the Harvard study as not offering 'convincing evidence of when the outbreak began.' be sure and read the article before sharing.

Nearly a year to go. Thanks to go its a slow developing virus within body otherwise we may suffer more badly. But what else to think we are not having a vaccine in this large period.

Typical blame-shifting. Why don’t they investigate the US?!

Ya think 🤦‍♀️ , I believe we already know this !!

Try fall 2018

So, exactly what the lockdown skeptics have been saying for months now? Thanks.

China reports four new confirmed, two asymptomatic COVID-19 cases in mainlandChina reported four new confirmed and two asymptomatic COVID-19 cases in the mainland as of end-June 7, the country's health commission said on Monday. Wearing a mask without covering her nose might be part of the problem. China has been transparent & honest in every aspect. Western nations are liars & racists! China will eventually be the dominant global power. Take the little bit of Truth and run with it. China with its Draconian rules is seeing a resurgence, American should start getting concern with its 'Liberate the State' or 'Open the State' attitude.
