* Mistake by Chinese official may have disclosed details of early Covid case
* Error shows the woman, 61, lived about a mile from a coronavirus research lab
* She was also close to a stop for the high-speed rail line that spread the virus
A mistake by a leading Chinese official may have disclosed the name, address and details about one of the first people suspected of being infected with Covid-19 in Wuhan, three weeks before Beijing authorities claim they detected the initial case.
The astonishing error, revealed in a screen-grab sent to a Chinese medical journal, shows that the 61-year-old woman, known as ‘Patient Su’, lived about a mile from one of the city’s main coronavirus research labs.
She was also close to a stop for the high-speed rail line that is believed to have played a key role in spreading the virus around the city of 11 million people.

WNU Editor: This new information on patient zero is coming from within China itself .... not from the West. The claim is that this was an accidental disclosure by a leading Chinese official.
Hmmmm .... maybe not.
My gut is telling me that there are probably many medical experts and specialists in China who are eager to tell the truth on the origins of Covid-19. And this may be the first of many leaks that will be "accidentally" released in the coming months.
