Dr. Steven Quay, MD, PhD, physician-scientist and CEO of Atossa
Therapeutics, Inc. announced today that he and Dr. Martin Lee, PhD,
Adjunct Professor of Statistics, UCLA Fielding School of Public
Health, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA have published a manuscript entitled,
“SARS-CoV-2 was spreading in the United States in late December
2019 and may have killed over 440 patients in California and 980
nationwide by mid-January.” The manuscript is available here: SARS
in the US in Dec 2019.
The study identifies a well-accepted
epidemiology signal of COVID-19, internet searches for the loss of
smell and/or taste, spiking in California the first two weeks of
2020, clearly indicating symptomatic patients in California at that
time. The study also identifies about 980 deaths nationwide and 440
deaths in California in early January that were attributed to
pneumonia and/or influenza but are likely to have been incorrectly
diagnosed and are, with high probability, the first deaths from
COVID-19 in the U.S.
“This study arose when I considered the origin
of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China in early December, the rate and ease
of human-to-human spread, especially in crowded indoor locations,
and the expected annual year-end glut of holiday travel that the
world experiences. From the perspective of the virus, there is no
difference between spending 13 hours spreading from human to human
in a traditional market in Wuhan or spending 13 hours traveling to
LAX in California and spreading in Beverly Hills,” stated Dr. Quay.
“This pandemic has provided a stark example of the unprecedented
perils we have created by our modern world.”
Dr. Quay continued, “My book entitled, COVID-19
Survival Manual: A Physician’s Guide to Keep You and Your Family
Healthy During the Pandemic and Beyond, will be published as an
Amazon Kindle book on June 5, 2020, and will provide my blueprint
for how to move beyond this pandemic safely for you and your
family. Before anyone decides to return to life outside the
shelter, please read my book. It might save your life!”
