          I heard a theory that covid was around in Europe for a few months before it was officially recognized.

            late 2019 it was on the radio about a flu in China. I remember christmas eve 2019, talking with the guys at the parts counter about all this, wondering if they would close the border, the date is clear in my memory becuase i needed an important vehicle part in order to get home for christmas. They did, a couple months after the flu arrived the following year. I was so fucking mad that they didn’t do a hard January closure, instead of a half assed patial closure 6 months late that literally solved nothing, prevented nothing, angered and inconvenienced people in two neighbouring countries that both had the fucking flu while thousands upon thousands of “essential” people just carried on. The whole thing was quite literally fucking retarded. Later there was proof it was in Italy early summer 2019, that’s not a theory. Samples from water treatment plants.

            Same as USA, people in my office were coming in with walking pneumonia getting everyone sick in January 2020 and this was a tech and health company (works closely with hospitals and health insurance)
