How can she have been patient zero if other people before her had matching symptoms?
EDIT: It does actually say later in the article she might not really be patient zero. Which means they haven't found patient zero at all yet, just 27 people who got it really early.
- danarmak 7y agoIf she developed symptoms earlier than they did, but went to the hospital later, it's not impossible. But they couldn't have reliable data about when she or the other early patients were infected; the pre-symptomatic period seems to vary a lot.
