I firmly believe that in Eastern King County Washington where we live surrounded by half a million recent Chinese immigrants many of whom visit home frequently, that this virus was making the rounds even before it was identified in China. It is highly contagious and when antibody tests are finally made available they will show that nearly everyone either had it or had an exposure that caused them to develop antibodies.
