Foundation of Virology: Virus Isolation and Diagnostic Test

The foundation of the narrative surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic rests on the initial research papers, particularly the works of Fan Wu and Ping Zhao. Fan Wu's study with a single pneumonia patient in Wuhan, China, who later identified as having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), set the stage. They claimed the novel nature of the illness despite common pneumonia symptoms in polluted cities. Subsequent diagnostic tests were carried out with unlikely outcome of virus isolation based on faulty experimental conditions. The fan Wu timeline unfolds before the essential diagnostic tests for COVID emerged, setting a questionable scientific groundwork.
