IIRC Wuhan is a city of about 11 million.That makes it an important city.There are at least a half dozen US cities who had daily non stop flights from Shanghai,Beijing and Hong Kong until a few weeks ago.It's certainly possible that some people started their journey in Wuhan,connected in Shanghai,Beijing or Hong Kong and then flew to San Francisco,LA,Chicago,New York,Boston,Seattle,etc.

Or Vancouver for that matter...I've read that rich Chinese citizens are responsible for Vancouver's real estate boom.

Correct on all counts. SF, LA, and NYC had direct flights from Wuhan. And I would bet that Vancouver with the third largest Chinatown inNorth America had flights as well.

We know that the virus was widespread in Wuhan by the middle of December or maybe even earlier. We didn’t cut off flights from Wuhan until January 31. I have no doubt that the virus has been here since December.
