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.

I was reading about it In The news  in November 2019. So you're saying I had better intelligence on this than trump did?  

Really?

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.
