Chinese scientists mysteriously deleted data about the coronavirus' genetic sequence collected early in the pandemic, a virologist has discovered, suggesting the aim was to "obscure their existence".
Jesse Bloom - a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle - says he managed to recover the data from hidden files on Google Cloud, and they reveal the earliest infections picked up in Wuhan probably weren't among the first.
