We propose that the new coronavirus which first appeared in the Hubei province of China was probably linked to the arrival of a pure culture of the virus contained in cometary debris that was dispersed over a localised area of the planet-China. The sighting of a fireball some 2000 kilometers north of Wuhan on 11 October 2019 followed shortly after with the first recorded cases in Hubei is suggestive of a causal link. Gene sequencing data of the virus that show little or no genetic variations between isolates, combined with available epidemiological data point to the predominance of a transmission process directly from an "infected" environment, with person-to-person transmission playing a comparatively weaker secondary role. The facts relating to this epidemic are discussed and placed in the context of other pandemics that have been recorded throughout history.
Analysis of all genetic, epidemiological and geophysical and astrophysical data suggest the alternate hypothesis that nCoV-2019 arrived via a meteorite, presumed carbonaceous meteorite, that struck North East China on October 11 2019. We then assume the viral debris and particles then made land fall in the Wuhan and related regions about a month to six weeks later resulting in first cases of the viral pneumonia caused by nCoV-2019 emerging in Wuhan regions late November 2019-early December 2019. After submission to The Lancet Professor Reginald M Gorczynski independently checked the data and analysis and agreed to be a co-signatory to the letter (5 Feb 2020).

In search of the origin of Corona virus2020 •
In this paper, the authors aim to find out the origin of the corona and the duration of the present pandemic caused by it. Besides, they aim to find out the reason for such outbreaks occurring often in China. They make a hypothesis that the origin of the virus is embedded in the solar cycle. Next, they have proved the hypothesis by investigating the sunspot number, the cosmic ray flux data, the concentration of 10 Be in the ice core in Greenland and based on the occurrence of past pandemics and endemics. The study shows that whenever the Sun is in the magnetically quiescent state, the world witnesses viral diseases. The study shows that the outbreak of the Corona is because of the minimum sunspot number during 2019-2020 and the Corona is likely to stay in the whole of 2020. The study indicates the occurrence of viral diseases in every 11-13 years. It also reveals that as the stratospheric thickness is the minimum at Wuhan, the virus had chosen this place as the first entry point to ...

The origin of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that has caused the COVID-19 worldwide<br> pandemic remains unknown. Here I report that the earliest genomic cluster is a group of four<br> patients associated with the General Hospital of Central Theater Command of People's Liberation<br> Army (PLA) of China in Wuhan. This cluster contains the "Founder Patients" of both Clade A and<br> Clade B, from which every SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that has infected every patient with COVID-<br> 19 anywhere in the world has arisen, including the infection of the President of the United States.<br> The observation that the genomic files for these patients were created on December 10, 2019 but<br> the PLA Hospital did not record the collection of the specimens until weeks later is unusual and<br> unexplained. However, it would be consistent with a vaccine challenge clinical trial (in which case<br> files are set up in anticipation of getting...

Coronavirus-2019: Origin and evolution2021 •
Coronavirus-2019, also called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2019 or SARS-CoV-2 was first reported from China at the end of December 2019 through transmission into man from bat and it produced severe type of pneumonia in the infected people. Within the next month (January 2020), the virus started its world-wide journey after it successfully established the transmission path from man to man and thus created pandemic and caused epidemic. Facing a deadly challenge of the virus, the scientists all over the world, starting from almost zero-level knowledge about the virus, worked hard to know most of characters related to its biology and pathology at molecular level thereby enriching knowledge which helped in development of various tools and technologies to control the virus and develop protection and prevention methods including production of vaccine against the virus. Nevertheless, to exert a better control over the virus, it is necessary to have knowledge of various deta...

New coronavirus revelation changes what we know about the outbreak’s origins By Chris Smith May 7th, 2020 The peer-reviewed study is available at this link. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567134820301829 25 page pdf attached A recent study that analysed thousands of genetic sequences of the novel coronavirus concluded the pathogen may have jumped from animals to humans as early as October 2019. One report says the first COVID-19 case in China may have been discovered as early as November 17th. Separate discoveries from Italy, France, and the US all suggest COVID-19 was spreading weeks or even months earlier than was initially believed. A peer-reviewed study looking at the genetics of the novel coronavirus published earlier this week said the virus has been spreading worldwide since late December, which would be much earlier than initially believed. However, the virus hasn’t circulated long enough to infect a significant amount of the population, which would get communities closer to acquiring herd immunity. The concept refers to having enough people in a community develop immunity to a pathogen via infection or vaccine so that outbreaks aren’t possible. The study supports separate discoveries that say COVID-19 was spreading in several countries in Europe and in the US well before the first official cases were documented. More interestingly, it offers a timeframe for the virus’s jump to humans, saying SARS-CoV-2 could have infected the first people as early as October 2019. “Phylogenetic estimates support that the COVID-2 pandemic started sometime around October 6th, 2019–December 11th, 2019, which corresponds to the time of the host-jump into humans,” reads one of the highlights of the study that was published in the Infection, Genetics and Evolution journal. A report from the South China Morning Post on the study says government data indicates that says China’s first confirmed COVID-19 case traced back to November 17th. China has been reluctant to share precise details about the first COVID-19 cases in the region of Wuhan, where the pandemic started. Moreover, China has repeatedly been accused of lying when reporting COVID-19 case and fatality figures. Unsurprisingly, this fuelled a series of conspiracy theories that claimed the virus was created in a laboratory, or that it escaped the Wuhan facility that could bioengineer such viruses. The scientific community already proved the virus wasn’t made in a lab, a fact backed up by top US intelligence agencies as well as infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. The theory that the virus could have escaped from a lab makes little sense. If anyone was studying this virus from any sort of animal, it means the virus was already capable of infecting humans. We may never find out who Patient Zero was in China, or in other regions. But it’s increasingly clear that the virus started infecting human hosts much earlier than we thought. Before this new genetic study came out, researchers from Italy and France found evidence that local epidemics started before the first cases were officially registered in the country. French doctors were able to prove that a patient who went to an emergency room with flu-like symptoms on December 27th had the novel virus. That would indicate the virus was in circulation in France already in mid-December, although it’s unclear where it came from. That patient had no history of traveling to China. France didn’t identify its first COVID-19-positive patients until January 27th. Italian researchers said their first local COVID-19 cases are likely to have appeared as early as January, or maybe even earlier than that. Italy reported its first local cases on February 21st, three weeks after two Chinese tourists in Rome tested positive for COVID-19. Doctors in the US said the first people died from COVID-19 complications as early as February 6th, more than three weeks before the first COVID-19 confirmed death was registered in Kirkland, Washington. https://bgr.com/2020/05/07/coronavirus-stats-patient-zero-may-date-back-to-october-2019/ The peer-reviewed study is available at this link. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567134820301829 25 page pdf attached Chris Smith started writing about gadgets as a hobby, and before he knew it he was sharing his views on tech stuff with readers around the world. Whenever he's not writing about gadgets he miserably fails to stay away from them, although he desperately tries. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

2019-nCoV (Wuhan virus), a novel Coronavirus: human-to-human transmission, travel-related cases, and vaccine readinessOn 31 December 2019 the Wuhan Health Commission reported a cluster of atypical pneumonia cases that was linked to a wet market in the city of Wuhan, China. The first patients began experiencing symptoms of illness in mid-December 2019. Clinical isolates were found to contain a novel coronavirus with similarity to bat coronaviruses. As of 28 January 2020, there are in excess of 4,500 laboratory-confirmed cases, with > 100 known deaths. As with the SARS-CoV, infections in children appear to be rare. Travel-related cases have been confirmed in multiple countries and regions outside mainland China including Germany, France, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Canada, and the United States, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan. Domestically in China, the virus has also been noted in several cities and provinces with cases in all but one provinence. While zoonotic transmission appears to be the original source of infections, the most alarming development is that human-to-human transmissi...

A novel coronavirus transmission from China to Pakistan via different countries; A reviewA review of novel coronavirus transmission from China to globally is a serious illness or just a thread to world population. In the beginning cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), were found with infected pneumonia (NCIP) in Wuhan city, China, during December 2019 and January 2020. An outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China has spread quickly national and international wide through transportation and travelling of people. Covid-19 outbreak was idiopathic, and it got attention not only nationally but internationally. Health authorities got activated and they took immediate actions for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. They use precaution by isolating the people infected with it even who were suspected, did close monitoring of the patients and discovered different treatment procedures and diagnostic tests to combat the disease. Electronic articles search and data collected were done through PubMed, Google Scholar and Medline, using ...
