I saw one video a couple of weeks back by an American who can read Chinese that Shi was the one exposed to the virus via blood and urine, she died and was taken to the crematorium, where her body infected crematorium workers.
The person stated that the initial outbreak came from a location not associated with the wet market at all.
Of the 12,192 deaths in New York since the first mortality on March 14:
60% were men, 40% were women
84% of the deaths were age 60 and older
No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying chronic disease.
10,810 (89%) of those who died had at least one chronic disease, with the top three identified being:
Hypertension - 64%
Diabetes - 42%
Hyperlipidemia - 23% (was 22%)
