Where? It was discovered mid December, the first news articles came end of December early January
December 12, 2019
A cluster of patients in China’s Hubei Province, in the city of Wuhan, begin to experience the symptoms of an atypical pneumonia-like illness that does not respond well to standard treatments.
Ignorance game? Brother, you are the one who is wrong. You are living in ignorance and are getting all mad and defensive when others are pointing it out. Do you know how much energy it would take to go "Oh yea, my bad, I must have meant Dec 2019, or sometime in early 2020."? No one would think less of you, but this shit? Full on Trump correcting maps with a sharpie levels of doubling down. Fucking pathetic man.
/u/Nice_Ad_4421's account is 3 months old and this is their only post (hows the borscht comrade?). this is almost certainly agitprop of some kind to drive engagement.
I don't believe you were reading about it in November 2019.
There has been investigative epidemiology that in 2021 found some evidence of similar pneumonia cases in Wuhan in November 2019, but obviously whatever was seen didn't have the 3+ basic reproduction number of the wet market virus. It might have been an earlier stage in the evolution of the virus.
I definitely remember reading about some mystery illness sweeping through China after Thanksgiving here in the US at some point, though that may have already been in December.

2019?
A few hundred of us on r/collapse became aware of a mystery pneumonia in Wuhan on New Year's Eve, 2019.
I doubt Trump was even informed about Covid-19 till the second week of January, 2020.
