Among the absolute most pressing mysteries regarding the origins of COVID — right alongside "Did COVID originate from a lab?" — is the question: "When did it start spreading across the world?"
The Chinese Communist Party government claimed that the disease only began appearing in Mainland China in early December of 2019. Yet theories have circulated that the virus was spreading much earlier than that, and may have already been around the globe well before China first identified it.
Here's some more compelling evidence to that effect:
MailOnline has now unearthed a fascinating medical report which further discredits China's official version of events.
Doctors in Berlin treated a 71-year-old man who had what they now suspect to be Covid, exactly one day before news broke of a cluster of Chinese patients were struck down with a SARS-like virus.
This unfortunate fellow had all the telltale signs that would come to be associated with COVID infections, including fever and high blood pressure. Tests on his lungs showed an unknown viral infection and bore the typical striking signature of what doctors came to recognize as a serious COVID case.
Most importantly, the patient had not recently been overseas. There was no logical way for him to have acquired the virus except from someone who had been to China and come back to Germany to spread it there.
This is far from the only instance of evidence that points to earlier spread of the virus:
Separate analysis also found blood samples used in an Italian lung cancer screening trial in October 2019 later tested positive for coronavirus.
And samples collected from French patients in December that year — which were tested retrospectively — have also come back positive for the virus, a month before the first official cases were spotted.
The major implications of early COVID spread are twofold:
- First, if it really was spreading much earlier than the official Chinese government narrative, that could point to a coverup on the CCP's part. (We already know they covered it up! But you still need good evidence.)
- Second, and perhaps more importantly, if the virus was spreading unchecked across the planet several months before lockdowns began throughout Western Europe and North America, that would further demonstrate the needless recklessness of such mitigation measures. If the virus was freely spreading over all that time, it would suggest that shutting down society and wrecking the economy were completely unnecessary measures.
