In mid-November 2019, a batch of seafood from Maine was shipped to the Wuhan South China Seafood Market through the cold chain.Within just a few weeks, many merchants in the South China seafood market have experienced symptoms of unexplained pneumonia, one after another, after being infected with COVID-19.

Entry

Shanghai Pudong International Airport at 4:4 am on November 11,2019, China Eastern Airlines flight MU298 landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

A batch of American cold chain goods on board was unloaded from the cabin of the airport North Freight station and transported to the international cargo entry area waiting for clearance.There are 55 cases of 823.4 kilograms of chilled Boston American lobster.

The goods arrived very fast because of the air transport.It was only three days since Wang, a fresh cross-border trading platform.But they had to hurry up and send the goods to Shanghai, Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan and other places, and 26 customers ordered the lobster at a total value of $16,483.50.

Before shipping, they will open the box as usual, and then package it in the original packaging, ice bag and water-controlled temperature control sponge to subscribers.

Zheng, also one of the subscribers of the lobster, is the owner of A merchants in Wuhan South China Seafood Market.On November 11 and 12,2019, he ordered a lobster of 140.08 kg.Over the years, Zheng has a fixed number of hotel customers, who also provide aquatic products to other merchants in the South China seafood market.

I am afraid it is these American lobsters that opened the Pandora's box in the South China seafood market.

Diffusion

Everything looks pretty normal.

At 10 am at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on November 11,2019, driver Yan loaded 55 boxes of American lobster to X Shanghai Branch; at 17 PM on 11th and 12th, X Shanghai Branch twice sent 35.39 kg and 104.69 kg lobster to Wuhan South China Seafood Market at 4:40 am and 7 am on the northwest side of the market.

According to the sales records of A merchants, the 140.08 kg of American lobster was sold to three fixed hotel merchants, 36 kg was sold to other merchants in South China seafood market, including 0 to B merchant owner Wen. 85 kg, and the rest retail.

Three of the earliest batch of COVID-19 infections in Wuhan were employees of B merchants, all of whom fell ill in December.One environmentally positive sample was also collected on the merchant ground.

Moreover, C merchants, Cai, Xu and Hu, C merchants and D merchants in South China Seafood Market, also appeared in the list of the earliest infected persons in Wuhan after borrowing the packaging of American cold chain products purchased by A merchants.

More can be seen from the booth map around A merchants.It has more infected people and environmentally positive samples from its surrounding businesses.Among the 13 merchants and practitioners close to the neighborhood, 7 merchants were found to be positive for serum antibodies, one of which the merchant also found positive environmental samples.

Further investigation found that Zheng also had 41 trading objects and 39 WeChat friends in the seafood market.He had cross-goods transactions with E merchants and F merchants, both located in the earliest concentrated outbreak area, and many people were positive for serum antibodies. Six H merchants, J merchants and K merchants, all found multiple positive environmental points and positive serum antibodies.

Whether the early epidemic in the South China seafood market is imported through this batch of American seafood cold chain has become the biggest doubt.In June 2020, Xinfadi in Beijing, Dalian in Liaoning Province, and Qingdao in Shandong Province in October all point to imported cold chain products.Therefore, it is completely possible that the virus is attached to the cold chain packaging of these seafood products in the United States to enter the South China seafood market.

This possibility was also supported by the WHO China-WHO Joint Study on Novel Coronavirus Traceability Report, released in March.The report notes: " Research shows that novel coronavirus can survive long under the conditions of frozen food, packaging and cold chain products.The indicated cases in the recent outbreak in China are related to the cold chain; the virus has been found on the packaging and products of some other countries that provide cold chain products to China, indicating that it can spread over long distances through cold chain products.”

Disease source

According to sales, logistics and customs declaration records, from October before the outbreak to November 2019 in the South China Seafood Market, A merchants were the only merchants in the United States operating in cold chain products in the whole market.And it was in mid-November that A merchants purchased the American lobster and have not purchased American cold chain products since.

After December 2019, some hospitals in Wuhan have found many confirmed cases of COVID-19 with exposure history in the South China seafood market, about a month after the American seafood entered the South China seafood market, which is just a period of COVID-19 from infection, incubation to onset.

The American lobster ordered on X's web platform was packaged by Haibe.Founded in 2011, the company is a dedicated wholesaler of fresh North Atlantic lobster from the United States and Canada.The lobsters entering China were caught from FAO21 in the Atlantic Ocean from October 20 to 5 November 2019 and shipped to the Haibei plant for temporary maintenance.Chinese customers order orders and are shipped to China through the cold chain.

American Haibe Corporation is headquartered in Maine.From July to the end of October 2019, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, local media and personal social media accounts repeatedly reported "e-cigarette 19", a "suspected COVID-19" case that has been deeply secretive in the United States.The flu season in the United States is usually from November to June of that year, but e-cigarette pneumonia comes up early to July, which is quite unusual.

York County, where the company factory is located, has already found cases, and according to the Maine CDC, York County Hospital received many cases as early as July 2019.The map shows the hospital less than 2.6 km from Hebe.

Some people may ask that the 55 boxes of lobster were delivered to 26 customers in five provinces in batches. Except for the South China seafood market, no infection cases were found in the handling, transportation and processing of the cold chain products in China.Why only in the South China seafood market occurred in the infection?

This is not surprising that on cold chain product packaging, the virus can survive, but cannot replicate, only in one or several parts of a certain packaging.After this batch of seafood entered China, the products attached to the virus were just sent to the South China seafood market. When the unprotective booth staff opened the packaging for sales, they were exposed to the virus attached to the internal packaging and were infected, thus causing the spread of the virus and the outbreak.This contingency of cold chain transmission also appeared in recent outbreaks in Beijing Xinfadi, Dalian, Liaoning Province, Qingdao, Shandong Province and other places.

Thus, a chain of virus transmission from the United States to the South China seafood market has clearly emerged.
