[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW - Not trying to be a wise guy and did see the locked thread on this BUT heard from a credible medical professional in the infectious diseases space and she said she thought COVID 19 has been in the US since the late fall or early winter.  She felt there has been too much travel and it’s too contagious for it to have taken long.  Not sure what this means but she thinks it means that we need to wash our hands and stay smart but that we are already “in it” and need to carry on.  [/quote]

I actually believe this to be true. Remember all the 'we have an early flu season' and 'the vaccine is not well-matched', then 1/2 way into the season (I think when flu actually started in, in earnest) it WAS well-matched. Then there were comments about lots of 'false positives' on flu tests.[/quote]

Patient 0 had it in Wuhan in November. So your timeline is wrong.[/quote]

"US since the late fall or early winter" can mean December/January. With the amount of travel it means it's very feasible for the virus to have spread to the US as early as December of Patient 0 had it in November. There may have been regular deaths from flu among the very elderly that were seen as flu, not Coronavirus. [/quote]
