Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of a renowned medical research institute in Italy, spoke in an interview with U.S.'s National Public Radio. He mentioned some Italian doctors remember having seen very strange pneumonia in old people in December and even November. He said the virus could be circulating in parts of Italy before people were aware of the outbreak in China.
