Everything we thought we knew about the beginnings of the coronavirus pandemic could be wrong. A bombshell report by scientists from the University of Cambridge has cast doubt on previous beliefs about when and where Covid-19 first broke out. While coronavirus was previously believed to have originated in a wet market in Wuhan at the end of last year, new research suggests it may have actually came from further south – and began spreading among humans as early as September 2019. The team of researchers has published its extraordinary findings – which have yet to be peer-reviewed – in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, outlining a “network” of infections that has thrown existing knowledge into doubt. “The virus may have mutated into its final ‘human-efficient’ form months ago, but stayed inside a bat or other animal or even human for several months without infecting other individuals,” University of Cambridge geneticist Peter Forster said on Thursday.”Then, it started infecting and spreading among humans between September 13 and December 7, generating the network we present in [the journal] Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [PNAS].” “What we reconstruct in the network is the first significant spread among humans,” Mr Forster said. He and colleagues from several institutes analysed more than 1,000 full genome sequences of the virus. By counting the various mutations of the virus, they were able to get closer to figuring out when the first human was infected by a strain closest to a virus spread among bats. Researchers analysed strains of the virus using a phylogenetic network – an algorithm that can map the global movement of organisms through the mutation of their genes. They found hundreds of mutations, indicating that the virus may have been spreading quietly in host animals for years before finally infecting humans. A coronavirus typically acquires one mutation a month. There have been unverified reports that the virus originated in a Wuhan lab where researchers were doing work into diseases in bats, but the new study doesn’t support that. “If I am pressed for an answer, I would say the original spread started more likely in southern China than in Wuhan,” Mr Forster said. “But proof can only come from analysing more bats, possibly other potential host animals, and preserved tissue samples in Chinese hospitals stored between September and December. “This kind of research project would help us understand how the transmission happened, and help us prevent similar instances in the future.” Phylogenetic networks are generally considered reliable means of tracking genetic mutations, but the method is limited by its sample size and having to assume a mutation speed that may not be accurate. A virus can undergo transformations in unpredictable patterns during an unprecedented outbreak such as this one. Nick Note: Do not get caught up in the conspiracy theories. But hear me well. If you recall i told you back in October i expected something big was about to happen. You might rememberl we bought back 30% of our zeroes. November we got should we say chatter. We started batting down the hatches. Network, satellite projects, solar upgrade and the new fiber system were given priority. You remember when we decided to go dark and sent out the BlackCryptokey. In December staff members in England started getting lung infections. Moose was in a BAD way. I dispatched Dennis to England on the trust legal work and to courier Keys. Mosh was sent to NY city to pick up a envelope from a should we say contact. Dennis came down with a sever lung infection and the girls got more then the usual flue. On his way back home Dennis flew in to update me and he was very very sick. Standard operating procedures here was since he was sick masks gloves and the like were donned. Despite precautions i got a light case and immediately went on Tamiflue and Hydroxychoroquine and suffered mild case of the “flue”. We now new their was a major epidemic in China. Underground sources in China were scared. I still held my water. I was about to declare a pandemic when the bird flue reared its ugly head ten years ago and it faded fast. As i was contemplating weather to go public and to recall family to base i had my dream. The most vivid dream ever i call it a vision (its ok if you laugh) forced me into action. As you know we got their first and the rest is history. I want to be clear here our assessment is round 1 is peeking and will fade away. DO NOT let your guard down. Prematurely governments the word over are lifting the lock downs and as i like to say setting the captives free. While the masses go on a spending orgy and when they least expect it round II will start.
