For some reason I hadn't included the MERS outbreak in 2012. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is a corona virus similar to the SARS virus respiratory symptoms but less contagious, more deadly and can cause kidney failure.

There are a number of reports that claim there was genetic evidence that elements from MERS and HIV were inserted into the COVID 19 virus, giving it the desired added functions described in the post I made before this one. Being more in the realm of conspiracy theory and after the start of the pandemic, it wasn't included in the timeline. I'll be adding that post soon.
Quote:Health officials first reported the disease in Saudi Arabia in September 2012. Through retrospective (backward-looking) investigations, they later identified that the first known cases of MERS occurred in Jordan in April 2012. So far, all cases of MERS have been linked through travel to, or residence in, countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula
