[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]France now says it treated someone with coronavirus in December. In all likelihood, our kids were going to school for months while coronavirus was circulating here. [/quote]

This is red herring.  If it was here, it was not spreading like it is now. A virus can circulate below radar before exponential growth takes off as we see now, creating extreme pressure on the health care system.[/quote]

Sure, but that doesn't mean the spread wasn't significant before schools closed. I'm fairly certain I had coronavirus earlier this year, back when only people in Wuhan supposedly got it. [/quote]

[b]Yes, yes it does mean that the spread wasn't significant before schools closed.  That's the whole thing about exponential growth.  You most likely had the flu. [/b] [/quote]

How could anyone know that? People weren't even thinking to look for coronavirus then. It's possible the exponential growth began sooner than we realize, and that earlier cases were simply being misdiagnosed as something else (like the flu).

And no, I didn't have the flu, per my doctor's flu test. My doctor said he didn't know what I had, but that he had been seeing a lot of mysterious cases like mine. [/quote]

I know that because that is how epidemiological models work.  It's vaguely possible you had covid, but much more likely you had a flu with a false-negative flu test, or some other influenza-like illness that was not covid.  There is no reasonable comparison, at all, between the situation in schools in January 2020 and in Sept 2020.  None at all.  [/quote]
