The "influenza epidemic," as officials noted in the document, was not only present in Wuhan in December but was greatest in the neighboring cities of Yichang and Xianning. It remains unclear what impact or connection the influenza spike had on the Covid-19/influenza/pneumonia of unknown origin outbreak. The files were presented to CNN by a whistleblower who requested anonymity. They said they worked inside the Chinese healthcare system and were a patriot motivated to expose a truth that had been censored and honor colleagues who had also spoken out. One expert with close ties to China reported seeing some of the reports during confidential research earlier this year. A European security official with knowledge of Chinese internal documents and procedures also confirmed to CNN that the files were genuine….
On February 10 when China reported 2,478 new confirmed cases nationwide, the documents show Hubei actually circulated a different total of 5,918 newly reported cases….
The documents also reveal a previously undisclosed a 20-fold spike in influenza cases recorded in one week starting 2 December in Hubei province. Notably the outbreak that week is not felt most severely in Wuhan--the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak--but in the nearby cities of Yichang, with 6,135 cases, and Xianning with 2,148 cases. Wuhan was the third worst hit with 2,032 new cases that week. Yichang, 320 kilometers (198 miles) west of Wuhan, was hit hardest by the influenza outbreak--almost three times as many as Wuhan in the same week beginning December 2. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/30/asia/wuhan-china-covid-intl/index.html

A total of 158 people left East China's Fujian for Central China's Hubei, including 149 physicians, nurses, laboratory test specialists and logistics support staff mainly from respiratory, critical care and infectious disease departments. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:T_b4wgK1suYJ:https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/12/WS5e436cf6a310128217276f6d.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

CNNC and CTG will also carry out joint research and development on new nuclear technologies, including the development, construction and promotion of fast reactor demonstration units and travelling wave reactor technology. https://world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/China-Three-Gorges-to-invest-in-nuclear

12-1-2020 The documents, which cover an incomplete period between October 2019 and April this year, reveal what appears to be an inflexible health care system constrained by top-down bureaucracy and rigid procedures that were ill-equipped to deal with the emerging crisis. At several critical moments in the early phase of the pandemic, the documents show evidence of clear missteps and point to a pattern of institutional failings.
The documents have been verified by six independent experts who examined the veracity of their content on behalf of CNN. One expert with close ties to China reported seeing some of the reports during confidential research earlier this year. A European security official with knowledge of Chinese internal documents and procedures also confirmed to CNN that the files were genuine. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/30/asia/wuhan-china-covid-intl/index.html

A private analysis acquired by the London-based NBC News Verification Unit that states that cell phone activity ceased at a high-security section of the lab from Oct. 7 to Oct. 24, 2019. The report also alleges that a "hazardous event" occurred at some point between Oct. 6 and Oct. 11.
From Oct. 14 to Oct. 19, the report claims that there was "absolutely no traffic in the area surrounding WIV." The authors of the report then allege that "roadblocks" were erected to prevent traffic from approaching the facility.
A paper published in Infection, Genetics and Evolution titled "Emergence of genomic diversity of recurrent mutations in SARS-CoV-2," estimates the COVID-19 outbreak started as early as Oct. 6, 2019. The researchers established this earliest starting date based on an analysis of the genetic trees of 7,666 SARS-CoV-2 genomes gathered from across the globe.
In addition, reports have started to stream in from athletes who participated in the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan who are now recalling experiencing illnesses very similar to COVID-19 while still in China. The games were held between Oct. 18 to Oct. 27, and participating athletes from France, Spain, Italy, Sweden reported telltale symptoms at the time, such as fever, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and flu-like symptoms, as well as weeks-long recoveries. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3934444
