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

And, even by that point, it was already too late for any lockdown to work at "stopping the spread."

I was among them. I went to Spain in November 19 and got sick a week after my return. It was like bronchitis without phlegm, fever every day and just felt like crap for about a week.

Since the actual pandemic, four people who work in close proximity to me have had it and I have not.

It was here much earlier than we’re were led to believe.

About 70 percent of people with COVID-19 suddenly lose their sense of smell, although fewer of them seem to realize it,

With the above being true, this could give some a better idea if they had it in the Nov-Dec time frame. But as it says, you may not realize you cant taste or smell. I did, but it take me a day or to realize it.

Tom Cotton was called racist, xenophobic, etc. for calling out China's frickery back in Feb/March. The Media blasted him for it. They lapped up anything China said about this virus. Your common smart person assumed they were lying.

The media sat on all this for the better part of a year until Biden got elected.

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.

Does not = 2% of Americans had covid in their blood before Christmas 2019.

Here's an NPR article on it, because the WSJ is behind a paywall.

Researchers found coronavirus antibodies in 39 samples from California, Oregon, and Washington as early as Dec. 13 to Dec. 16. They also discovered antibodies in 67 samples from Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin in early January — before widespread outbreaks in those states.

We had a Super Bowl, basketball games, national championship, life as usual. Where was the hospital overflow?

It’s almost like the virus was not widespread and was only just in its beginning stages of infecting people.

why won’t those in power end this charade? Do they hate their constituents that much? Do they not trust us with freedom?

Some in power are following the guidance of supposed experts.

These experts are, for whatever reason, treating this mostly mild virus as if it's much deadlier than it is, and using unprecedented testing and diagnosis paradigms to blame deaths on the virus to keep people in fear.

This fear was used to allow mail-in voting to ensure Biden's victory. You can choose whether or not to believe that was the motivation for blowing it out of proportion.
The fear has also been used to do possibly irreparable damage to the small business economy, which will make it easier for bigger powers to further enrich themselves and remake the economy into whatever they want it to be.
And this will be used to force people into taking a rushed vaccine for a virus that most people wouldn't even notice as being out of the ordinary, other than the loss of smell, without all of the manufactured hysteria.

It seems clear that it was here earlier than they thought, but I'm skeptical of these anecdotal stories. Otherwise hospitals would have been filling up a couple of months earlier than they did. If 940 WM students were spreading covid around the community, you'd have been seeing a wave of unexplained nursing home deaths in Monroe by late December-early January instead of March-April.

---

I dont really agree with this because not many of them were probably going to nursing homes and then youd have to think a family member of these students would have to actually work at one if they were spreading it like that.

other option could be some of those were covid and some were not. so it hadnt really had the time to fully spread everywhere.

Makes sense, my dad had it Christmas, it emerged 2 weeks later in me and then all my coworkers 2 weeks after that. The wave had already passed over everyone I knew by February.

Good thing we closed everything down for this.

It was here months before that. October and November of 2019 even.

YEP!
Local Doctors were dealing with cases back in August 2019 that would now be classified as a Covid case. These people were treated for their symptoms weather it was thought to be a fever virus or other random sinus infection and sent on their way.

Knowing what we know now, they have been able to go farther and farther back and find cases with the same symptoms of the China Virus
