Wsj breaking: 2% of Americans had covid in their blood before Christmas 2019

The new coronavirus infected people in the U.S. in mid-December 2019, a few weeks before it was officially identified in China and about a month earlier than public health authorities found the first U.S. case, according to a government study published Monday.
The findings significantly strengthen evidence suggesting the virus was spreading around the world well before public health authorities and researchers became aware, upending initial thinking about how early and quickly it emerged.
Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found evidence of infection in 106 of 7,389 blood donations collected by the American Red Cross from residents in nine states across the U.S., according to the study published online in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
The scientists based their study on blood samples that the American Red Cross collected between Dec. 13 and Jan. 17 and later sent to the CDC for testing to see if any had antibodies to the new coronavirus, which is named SARS-CoV-2.
What the hell? Covid was in America in December 13, 2019.
We had a Super Bowl, basketball games, national championship, life as usual. Where was the hospital overflow?

Nah, not gonna believe that BS
Not gonna believe it was already here in December? Why not? It started what in November in China? It would make sense it was around the world by December. Since the vast majority of people that get it are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms people would have just passed it off as a cold.
Not sure about the 2% number but could be reasonable.

Honestly not surprised thinking back to the collapsing hospitals in China just after Christmas last year.
I honestly thought I was just seeing shoddy Chinese engineering. I even wondered to myself why they were building medical facilities so fast.
Now we know.

A contractor friend in NO had a bunch of subs from Wuhan that all went home around Christmas. When they got back on the job, the entire site got very sick but tested negative for flu.
Water sample tests in Europe also confirm the earlier timeframe.

Last December there was an article about the Patriots traveling in two separate planes due to flu symptoms in the team.

That's because it was the Kung Flu.
