In this video I review, expand on the technical terms, and summarize the abstract for the main paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation. This was the paper that ChatGPT had said was the "main" paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation, and indeed it was the original China CDC Wuhan investigation report. The abstract states that several patients with pneumonia (or inflammation of the lungs) of unknown cause was "linked" to a seafood market in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The genetic sequencing of the samples were somehow used to "discover" a new coronavirus, which was later "isolated" from human airway epithelial cells (which line the nose, mouth, and down to the lungs). This "new coronavirus" was named 2019-nCoV.
