re: More credence to the theory that this virus was in the United States as early as December

i posted about that this morning

i am curious if the China strain Cali got and the Euro strain NYC got were different

INJECT THAT CHINA COVID IN MY VEINS NOW

I truly think the difference in outcomes and spread is due to life styles between CA and NYC. I mean just look at population densities and the prevalence of automobiles

Not as severe but our family did likewise during Christmas season. Was particularly concerned with my wife and she showed negative for the flu. I believe we experienced it.

The earliest of which died on February 6

That's quite a leap you make there. I'll agree this was circulating more than anyone realized early on, but until there is actual evidence of someone having it in December it's just a theory with nothing backing it up.

It isn't that big of a leap. Someone dieing with the illness in early February, indicates that they likely contracted it in January. It isn't a big leap to assume it was circulating a month or more before the first death. Given that it was in China in October, it is likely it made it to the US by the end of December.

Straight from the top of the article. So much bullshite going on. Did Covid kill the person or did they die with it? For all we know from the article they died of a heart attack but they had asymptomatic Covid.

Sure, but the most important thing here is the proof that the virus was here much earlier than previously confirmed and therefore likely far more widespread than thought. It means the death rate is probably lower and way more people have been exposed which helps us get closer to herd immunity.

Also, people really don’t understand there’s other virus’s going around all the time that are not Covid or Influenza. Everyone sick this winter that’s negative with the flu thinks they had Covid, when in reality the testing has proven that something like 60-75% of people are testing negative for Covid even with the symptoms.

Now I’m not convinced our testing isn’t fricked and throwing a bunch of false negatives or positives. But that’s a different story. Even with bad testing, most people that think they had Covid are testing as negative.

We don’t know if he died of it or with it. If he died with it, he could have easily contracted it in early February and then died of a heart attack. If he died of it then yes he likely got it 2-3 weeks prior. Lot of big IFs though.

And what did i say?

He could have, but, as I said, since he died Feb 6, it is likely he contracted it in January.

know one thing. Back in Dec and into Jan, the wife and I had a dry cough for a good 30 days. Both were tested for Flu which was a neg. It kicked our arse big time

same. Also read what Broke wrote about on here with his experience.

My wife had it bad. Could hardly get out of bed for a few days, trouble breathing and she went to the dr 3 or 4x and all they prescribed was steroids because they couldn't find a reason to give her antibiotics. Flu test negative.

She spent the better part of January fighting it off and we just found out her dad was deathly ill in the same timeframe (we had all gotten together for Christmas) but refused to tell us because he's bull-headed.
