Earlier today, a Canadian military officer who had heard my interview on pandemic origins with Lex Fridman, contacted me through my website, telling me he had participated in the October 2019 World Military Games in Wuhan, where he and many other athletes had gotten extremely sick.
The 2019 Military World Games were held in Wuhan, China from October 18-27, 2019. For those not familiar with these games, militaries from around the world send teams to compete (more here) in what is designed to foster mutual understanding and bridge-building.
The Canadian officer and I jumped on a Zoom call this morning, when we spoke for 45 minutes. I found him extremely credible and impressive. Although he believes it’s extremely likely he was infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus while in Wuhan, he was never given a serology test, even after raising the possibility of infection in Wuhan with his superiors.
