[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NY Times article says the first confirmed case in Seattle was late January—which means it’s safe to assume there were others walking around/traveling with it at that time or even sooner.

That’s long before anyone really thought it was here. And way before testing. Heck, we still aren’t testing.

So why don’t people believe it’s been here since then and has been spreading?

I think all the people presenting with flu symptoms who are testing negative for flu likely have or had corona. I know so many adults and kids who have been ill with flu symptoms but tested negative. [/quote]

Another thread commented it's amazing that with all the big American chinatowns and Chinese American communities and close ties, both family and business, to China, its amazing we haven't had any positive cases pop up in the US chinatowns, either in NYC or Los Angeles. Those are huge communities. Wuhan didn't go into lockdown for a while and the virus is supposed to spread so easily.

I'm fully confident it's been around the US for longer than thought. Which is very encouraging in it's own way. [/quote]

I think a lot of Chinatowns have very few immigrants wealthy enough to travel to China or even second-Gen anymore. People own businesses there maybe, but they live in other neighborhoods for the schools. Those living there are often too poor (or undocumented) to travel to China for New Years.[/quote]
