The coronavirus that's ravaged the world in the past 18 months isn't the first to emerge from Asia and cause widespread illness.

There's evidence one "similar to COVID-19" tore through eastern Asia 20,000 years ago, according to a new study. 

"The modern human genome contains evolutionary information tracing back tens of thousands of years, like studying the rings of a tree gives us insight into the conditions it experienced as it grew," said Kirill Alexandrov of the University of Queensland.

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.
