Reuters*•*November 16, 2020摘抄几个主要的文字段落：

the Italian researchers’ findings, published by the INT’s scientific magazine Tumori Journal, show that 11,6% of 959 healthy volunteers enrolled in a lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020, had developed coronavirus antibodies well before February.

It showed that four cases dated back to the first week of October were also positive for antibodies neutralizing the virus, meaning they had got infected in September。有4个案例显示去年9月就已感染。

Italian researchers told Reuters in March that they reported a higher than usual number of cases of severe pneumonia and flu in Lombardy in the last quarter of 2019 in a sign that the new coronavirus might have circulated earlier than previously thought. 伦巴第大区去年四季度有异常高的肺炎与感冒病例

。。。武汉作为九省通衢，中国中心腹地的位置，从理论上说，如果在未知情况下酝酿传播时间长些的话，全中国应该早就传播开了。然而中国迅速控制住了，而疫情几乎限于武汉一地（及省内邻近周边)，这个事实也可合理推断，武汉应该只是最早发现与报告，而不是起源地。
