U.S. Intelligence Reports That Three Wuhan Researchers Were Hospitalized in Late 2019 With Symptoms Similar to Coronavirus
Three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology became ill enough with symptoms similar to COVID-19 that they sought hospital care in November of 2019, according to a U.S. intelligence report obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
According to the Journal, the intelligence report, issued in the last days of the Trump administration, said researchers at the lab became sick “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”
This report could add credence to the theory that COVID-19 escaped from a lab, which has become popular in right-wing media and politicians.
