The wily Chinese, always one step ahead, making sure we were infected before they even knew about it!

We used the same time machine we used to travel forward in time to copy 5G tech.

Nah, people already have their bases covered in that regard. Expect to see more and more narratives like this one in the future:

Regardless of how early COVID-19 turns out to have been present in other countries around the world, they will just keep pushing the supposed date of its emergence in the PRC further and further back each time.

In analyzing the blood samples, the CDC scientists found antibodies in 39 samples from California, Oregon and Washington state collected between December 13 and December 16.

The antibodies don’t appear the day you’re infected. Those people had coronavirus in November.

That’s the thing about this virus. By the time you know you have it, when you caught it is ancient history, and you could have infected dozens of people already. So yea, it could have taken months before anyone knew what was going on.

Yeah that’s nuts. It would be super interesting to know more about the background of these people. Like did they travel a lot or are they just typical people in the community giving blood. If they didn’t go anywhere your looking at introduction to the major gateway cities like October/September 2019? Maybe earlier?

My grandmother swears she had COVID last Thanksgiving, sicker than she’s ever been, literally called off Thanksgiving dinner for the first time ever.

She lives in Alabama and hasn’t traveled more than a couple of states over in years.

This makes sense to all the people from Las Vegas who were reporting that they got sick around that time. I think there were also reports in the bay area of California having infections in December as well.

Yeah I graduated from a CSU in December and a few weeks after the ceremony everyone of my immediate family was extremely sick. I swear I felt like I was at deaths door for a bit. But my family all say there was no way we had it. Of the 5 of us I’m the only one who seems to have kept a persistent issue, I seem to have far more phlegm issues than I ever had before

Wouldn’t be surprised. I was the sickest I’ve ever been and still have some after effects.

Halloween last year, I had worst flu of my life. Terrible fever, coughing all night, felt super weak and tired all the time. Got tested for strep and mono. Both came back negative. I asked the nurse who game me my results “if this isnt strep or mono, wtf is it.”

“I don’t really know”

Looking back on it now… was that covid? I caught in october, which seems too early, but it also had like all the trademarks of COVID19… I remember laying in bed and thinking “Now I understand why a flu can kill someone, because if I were old, this shit would fucking murder me”
