Leaks from a hospital in Wuhan has signaled that Covid-19 could have become rampant if Chinese government has not acted in the nick of time. The medical records show people facing a mysterious form of pneumonia that was treated in eight hospital between late September to the beginning of December 2019.
Eight of the 40 patients who were being treated in the hospital died of Covid-19 like symptoms as per the leaked data. Beijing had maintained that mysterious pneumonia like cases first appeared in December 31, 2019. China declared new coronavirus disease to World Health Organisation (WHO) in January 2020. These assertions have become debatable after new records have come to light showing the mysterious-illness cases date back to September 2019.
Covid-19 has killed nearly 2 million people across the globe. More people could have been saved, if China had acted swiftly. These leaks by Epoch times, a Chinese newspaper based in America have triggered a new controversy. According to the data with them, Xiao Xgui was first to be treated by an unknown, pneumonia like illness at the Wuhan Puren Riverside Hospital.
Similarly, Wuhan Yaxin, a general hospital treated 10 people after they developed unusual symptoms. Five deaths were reported at the Wuhan Sixth Hospital. The cause of deaths was named as new pneumonia. One of the patients died on November 3. Three deaths were reported at the Wuhan Hosptial of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hankou district.
Epoch times is regarded as a newspaper critical to the Chinese regime. Experts said to believe this data. Gilles Demaneuf, a French data scientist works to investigate the origins of Covid-19 was quoted as saying, 'The Epoch Times findings are credible' by dailymail.co.uk. However, he added suspected cases must not be regarded as confirmed cases.
