NARATIV EXCLUSIVE:Chinese researchers who identified a “more aggressive" strain of #COVID19 say a woman infected with that strain traveled from Wuhan to Chicago in January.@NarativLive
I took a closer look at the numbers and extrapolated from the data that while 96% of #COVID19 samples from Wuhan were the “aggressive” strain of #COVID19, vs 58% from the rest of China and 72% from around the world. @narativlive 
Researchers say the more aggressive L strain was imported from Wuhan to Chicago on January 21. @Narativlive
The two strains of #COVID19 are a fact but we just do not know enough about the spread of the two strains around the world and what, if any, role they may have played in hotspots like New York City. Further study is vital to determine if there is a Wuhan or New York City strain.

NOTE: Here's where you can read the study. Yes I’m aware questions have been raised about the use of the word “aggressive" to describe the strain which is why further study is needed. The existence of the two strains seems to be accurate. academic.oup.com/nsr/article/do…
