Trump’s fault. If he had only acted sooner, millions would have been saved from coughing.

Sarcasm.

I have been saying That all along. Back in late Dec-early January in
CT I notice a Huge uptick in people sick with flu like symptoms.

CCPVirus didn’t just stay in Wuhan for months with thousands of international travelers.

Public health officials now are considered miniGods by some. Infallible.

This crud was in the Western Hemisphere a lot earlier than most are led to believe.

Unelected, liberally educated turds couldn’t diagnose a knee sprain from a broken neck were supposed to keep an eye on things. Seems only logical after all those years of compassion Obammy displayed for the masses. We all know what a master he was at handling crisises.

I personally wouldn’t be surprised if it was here over a year ago.

The farther back we keep pushing the timeline of this virus the more it calls into question its geographical origin.

We all say Wuhan because that was the first big recognized outbreak in Dec. 2019 but it's becoming clear that the virus was circulating prior to that.

If this speculated LA outbreak had been recognized at the time would we be calling it the LA virus?

I’m sure I had it in mid January. Low grade temp for the first time in 20 years. slept 36 hours straight and felt short of breath for weeks

We had the same strange phenomena here in Washington State where the first was actually diagnosed in January after returning from China. We have half a million recent Chinese residents, legal and illegal living in Eastern King County and Eastern Snohomish County. A lot of them visited home for Chinese New Year.

I was poo pooed earlier this year when I said that people in our area probably were already close to herd immunity if it really was as contageous as thought.

I’ve been saying for a long time after the election we will find out it was here in Nov/Dec and by then we were all along for the ride.

The truth lies in post-mortem detection. IF any samples of lung tissue or serum were retained from any associated fatalities, they can be tested. That is how UK and France have begun backing up their timelines -— as posted here previously.
