The discovery of the origin of the corona virus has led to a major revelation about China and its Wuhan lab. Chinese scientists have deleted critical early patient data for fear of exposing the source of the deadly virus.

A serious investigation is under way for where the virus originated. In this investigation, samples of several patients from Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, have been deleted from the international database. This international database monitors the movements of the COVID-19 virus.

The report is expected to provide significant evidence of the origin of the coronavirus. Before the outbreak in Wuhan's seafood market in December 2019, it would have been possible to find out when the epidemic had spread in China.

The American professor who caught the person deleting these statistics has recovered some data. According to American Professor Jesse Bloom, the epidemic had began to spread in China long before the first case was actually reported.

Early samples of the virus would have revealed how much the virus had evolved. He did not comment on whether the virus was leaked from the lab. China may have deleted the data in order to hide the existence of the virus from the world, says Professor.

According to British scientists, the investigation would lead to the discovery that the corona virus had spread to China before it spread from the Wuhan market. The timing of the data deletion raises suspicions that the corona virus was accidentally leaked from China's Wuhan Lab.

The then US President Donald Trump had said that China was responsible for the spread of COVID-19. Even today, the US blames China for the outbreak of the coronavirus. Researchers around the world have been searching for the source of the virus till date.

China, meanwhile, has praised the Wuhan Laboratory for its excellent work with the country demanding noble prize for their lab.

In a recent press conference, China’s Foreign Affairs Ministry’s spokesperson Zhau Lijian said that China’s Wuhan Lab deserved a Nobel Prize in Medicine for studying the coronavirus. The minister’s statement comes at the heels of the lab being nominated for China’s top science award.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist was among the first persons to claim that the coronavirus was leaked from the Wuhan lab. Reacting to China’s demand for the Nobel, she told News18.com: “It sounds crazy that China asked for Nobel Prize nomination for Wuhan Lab. When more and more evidence coming out, people are realising that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in Wuhan, and the labs involved in the gain-of-function modification of the virus. However, the nomination clearly shows China’s perspective to the world, which is opposite but perfectly fits CCP’s logics."
