Here we present epidemiological evidence that SARS-CoV-2 S type exited Wuhan or other epicenters in China earlier than L type and conferred partial resistance to the virus on infected populations. Here, we developed the world's first influenza-based epidemiological method as a useful proxy to detect the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the establishment of partial herd immunity in countries. These results prompted us to hypothesize that (i) S type SARS-CoV-2 exit Wuhan or other epicenter in China earlier than L type virus without recognition by infectious disease surveillance systems of China and other countries; (ii) the infection by S type induced herd immunity that provides at least partial protection against spread of SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-275846-7onenxg7.txt ./txt/cord-275846-7onenxg7.txt
