Just chiming in-  Looking back my family based in the mid-Atlantic first noted symptoms of this September, 2019.  It was widespread at that time.  Sorry I don't want to provide further geographic location but when we think about those we know who first had these symptoms it was in a very secure shipping/receiving location but not a port or airport as you might think of it. It came back to new people with a vengeance in December and January to family of people who worked in or around those in the shipping facility.  Really healthy people were just beat down by this for a month at a time.  People who do not usually get antibiotics going two rounds of prescriptions with doctors warning of onset pneumonia if proper attention was not given to  this "cold."  Many of these people had flu tests that came back negative. I myself got it and dreaded what I thought I was going to have to endure but fortunately only had those odd, mild symptoms for a few days.  But in retrospect realized there were other underlying health problems that lasted for many of us for a month or more. Conspiracy theorists in our midst speculate with some degree of humor but...-  Virus contracted to be made by chi-coms in the USA by our treasonous academia.  White hats figure out what's going on and try tailoring it to fit the asian DNA then let the chi-coms "steal" it back home.  Chi-coms get it; enhance it and send it right back to us.  But somehow or another whatever they loosed on their own people was worse.  And of course through open borders etc. we know how that has worked out. Another thing-  Think about POTUS Trump NOT shaking Pelosi's hand at the SOTU.  I watched that video section repeatedly.  I kept thinking of options- 1.) Maybe he didn't see her extend her hand (not his MO.) 2.) He saw her offer her hand and simply did not shake it to spite her (not his MO.) 3.) He saw it and just knew that there was something on it he was not supposed to come in contact with. Additionally POTUS Trump quickly dropping by the hospital last year to knock out part of his annual physical just after the chi-com trade delegation met with him.  Just odd. I guess we'll never know.
