AI synopsis

What people are saying

The social discussions demonstrate strong support for the research suggesting an earlier emergence of SARS-CoV-2, with phrases like 'brilliant paper' and 'stunning experimental design' conveying high regard. Participants reference key studies and specific dates such as 'mid-October to mid-November 2019', illustrating detailed engagement and interest in the nuances of pandemic origin debates.

AgreementStrong agreement

The discussions consistently support the idea that the virus's emergence likely occurred earlier than previously believed, emphasizing scholarly consensus.

InterestHigh interest

The posts clearly show high curiosity and engagement with the research, referencing multiple studies and debating the timing of initial cases.

EngagementHigh engagement

Many participants reference specific papers, dates, and scientific debates, indicating deep involvement and detailed analysis of the research findings.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions could influence ongoing investigations and public perceptions about pandemic origins, highlighting their notable societal and scientific significance.

Abstract in brief

  • The study used a combination of molecular clock analysis and epidemiological simulations to estimate that SARS-CoV-2 most likely first emerged in Hubei province, China, between mid-October and mid-November 2019.
  • It found that many early zoonotic infections of SARS-CoV-2 likely died out on their own, which contributed to the delayed detection and containment of the virus.
  • The research emphasizes the limitations of current zoonosis surveillance methods for identifying highly contagious viruses that may not initially cause severe disease, underscoring the challenges in early detection of pandemics.]

@arguablywrong @slatestarcodex "Timing..." dated epidemic simulations by aligning them with tMRCAs drawn from posterior distributions from BEAST, and then rejected them if they did not have an ascertained case by a specific date - for Fig. 3E it was December 1 https://t.co/NT6WDWqXrt

26/ If this turns out to be correct, Pekar’s period between mid-October and mid-November 2019 corresponds not to the index case of Covid-19 as a whole as they suggest, but to the index case a more-transmissible variant, which now dominates https://t.co/ZmLVsok7F4

That alone does not prove that the outbreak started at Huanan market. There could still have been a few cases before the market outbreak, before the TMRCA. https://t.co/OBNKj4LSWD https://t.co/QtziqID1pq

@Florin_Uncovers Pekar, Worobey et al ["Timing the SARS-CoV-2 index case in Hubei province"]: Our results define period b/w mid-Oct & mid-Nov 2019 as plausible interval when 1st case of SARS-CoV-2 emerged in China. DOI: 10.1126/science.abm44. How did their 2022 papers pass peer review?

Then he wrote a paper investigating whether there might be cases before the market outbreak, and modeling how many pre-market cases there could possibly be. (spoiler: the answer is not very many -- simulations predicted only 9 infections in November) https://t.co/OBNKj4LSWD

In 2021, Jonathan Pekar wrote a paper simulating the epidemic in Wuhan. https://t.co/OBNKj4LSWD That paper actually argued that a lab leak was still possible -- Worobey and Pekar were not convinced by the data yet, back in 2021. https://t.co/9eRUp5lcQT

@TedMoondust @DkSemyon @nikocosmonaut Dec 10 is not the actual starting date, there can be a few cases before TMRCA. If you want to get into the details of that more, Pekar et al 2021 is a fairly easy read, that estimated the possible number of November cases (very low, median of 9) https://t.co/OBNKj4LSWD https://t.co/lmpyUk204W

@Ticklicker56 @emilyakopp @MichaelWorobey @jepekar This paper: https://t.co/qxDykEYtsp says: "Therefore, the Wuhan cluster of infections identified in late December of 2019 may not have represented the initiating event. " But @jepekar paper says Nov-Dec 2019 market event was likely origin of pandemic. Seems contradictory.

@stuartjdneil @MJnanostretch …but not necessary or useful to invoke such scenarios. A unknown disease which is often non- or weakly-symptomatic can move through a city without a trace.

26/ If this turns out to be correct, Pekar’s period between mid-October and mid-November 2019 corresponds not to the index case of Covid-19 as a whole as they suggest, but to the index case a more-transmissible variant, which now dominates https://t.co/ZmLVsok7F4

@ColinDavdButler Worobey estimates the "index case" was 18 Nov. I'm suggesting this wasn't the first CoV-2 case in humans (because it was far too well-adapted/stable by Dec) but the first case of a more transmissible variant. Names released when it couldn't be hidden https://t.co/ZmLVsok7F4
