By Jan. 2, Shi had decoded the entire genome of the virus

"Using the constrained evolutionary rate method, the mean TMRCA dates for 2019‐nCoV based on the four datasets ranged from 15 October to 10 November 2019

Using the tip‐dating method, the mean TMRCA date... ranged from 16 November to 22 December 2019"

"We estimated that 2019-nCoV likely originated in Wuhan on 9 November 2019 (95% credible interval: 25 September 2019 and 19 December 2019), and that Wuhan is the major hub for the spread of the 2019-nCoV outbreak in China and elsewhere."

Farrar receives a phone call from George Gao on New Year's Eve, who said that there was "a series of people with a slightly odd lung infection in a city in China, but that they did not think this was the coming back of SARS."

The mysterious patient samples arrived at the Wuhan Institute of Virology at 7 p.m. on December 30, 2019

“Everybody’s assuming … that this coronavirus is the cause. We don’t know that. They’re assuming that market was the origin. We don’t know that. And we don’t know how many other cases are walking around right now,” said Peter Daszak

The discovery of an outbreak and identification of a new virus in a period of less than one month is exceptional, experts said.

“I am stunned by the timeline and speed of this isolation and characterization, if it’s all true,” said Matthew Frieman

“If the Chinese truly have sequenced the virus and they’ve demonstrated that it’s present in other patients, that means there’s a PCR diagnostic test available. And the Chinese need to make that available to the rest of the world immediately,” -Ralph Baric

"It began for Peter Daszak, a British American scientist, a couple of days after Christmas. While the rest of the world trundled along, the president of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance was in his office in lower Manhattan, picking up the first clues of something amiss." Image
Weibo, China’s Twitter, carried the warning signals

... as New Year’s approached, his colleagues in China suddenly went mum.

“They were all saying ‘I’m sorry, I can’t talk. We’re very busy. We’ll talk to you soon.’ They wouldn’t respond, even to a ‘Happy New Year’s’ message. Image
That wasn’t normal,” Daszak recalled. “That’s when you know, you just know, something serious is going down.” Image
For the 54-year-old Daszak and his fellow germ trackers, it’s been a period of long hours and roiling emotions — anxiety about the trajectory of the killer they spotted in its first days, a QUEASY SATISFACTION that their years of warnings had not been misplaced Image
Daszak and his team at EcoHealth Alliance weren’t the only ones scrambling at the end of 2019 to understand the tidbits escaping from Wuhan, a sprawling city of more than 11 million in central China’s Hubei province. Image
In MID-DECEMBER, Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown Law, had a guest over to dinner. “I just heard from a friend in Wuhan that there is a novel coronavirus, and it looks very serious,” Gostin remembered saying.

@BillyBostickson @WhereIsYanLing Image
“He just said, ‘Pass the biscuits.’ ” Few people grasped the potentially catastrophic implications of an outbreak in China. Gostin would spend the next weeks imploring international bodies to take this new threat seriously. Image
"The first case was reported in Egypt on February 14, followed by Algeria on February 25, then Morocco and Tunisia on the same day, March 2, 2020 (2, 3)."

Jeremy Farrar, director of the $33 billion Wellcome Trust, used a Jan. 31 call with money managers to deliver a clear warning about the dangers of the new coronavirus. Here he is pictured at a 2019 World Economic Forum event in South Africa.

Back to LA Times:

Daszak, too, worried about another SARS, or worse — tweeting his concern in the predawn hours New Year’s Eve. “Let’s hope this is not a novel viral agent,” he tweeted.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Daszak’s wife, an immunologist, didn’t dally. She soon bought surgical masks, gloves, bleach, paper towels and other gear for a “pandemic box.” Enough supplies to quarantine for two weeks.
The looming crisis had the EcoHealth Alliance president wracking his brain: “There is a kind of guilt you feel..." Image
"This particular outbreak probably was in people circulating in South or Central China back in November" or even earlier, Daszak said.

gulfnews.com/world/asia/wha…
Disease ecologist Peter Daszak, president of the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance in Manhattan, said the Harvard study “is absolutely fascinating."

“You need to look at every possible bit of evidence, where it came from and when it emerged,” said Daszak

@uacjess @WhereIsYanLing
“When we do analysis after outbreaks, we find that the diseases had been in circulation days, weeks, months, years before. I really believe that’s what we’re going to find with COVID-19.”

@BillyBostickson

“We don’t know the source yet, but there’s pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.” He said, “It’s probably going to be the Chinese horseshoe bat,” a common species that weighs up to an ounce.

“The outbreak can be contained and controlled,” Dr. Daszak said. “But if we don’t know the origin in the long term then this virus can continue to spill over.”
