Yes. We don't have swabs that we can perform PCR on.
On the other hand, this report, if true:
- Sickened about a month before COVID-19 was formally detected
- In close proximity to where COVID-19 was formally detected
- While doing research on gain of function in coronaviruses.
This is strongly suggestive circumstantial evidence.
- whimsicalism 3y agoWould love to have the denominator.
- onethought 3y agoClose proximity is a bit of a stretch. This shows people catching colds in winter. The rest is speculation
- mlyle 3y ago> This shows people catching colds in winter. And hospitalized? That's a bit more uncommon than catching a cold.
- onethought 3y agoNo it isn’t.

- letmevoteplease 3y agoThe symptoms reportedly included loss of smell and "ground glass opacities" in the lungs.[1] That's not necessarily COVID, either, but a few too many coincidences for me.
