It is an increasingly common statement, in comments sections, in social media posts and from callers on talk radio programs, “I think I had COVID-19 back in [name your month].” This is an important phenomenon for public policy. If they believed the experts, if they trusted what their governments had told them, then would people make that statement? Governments around the world saw COVID-19 start in early March and shuttered their economies, claiming it necessary to stop its spread. To ponder if one had COVID-19 before March is to doubt that narrative, and that pondering is amplified by those who tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies.

Covid 19 first emerged in November, became an issue in Wuhan in December, Wuhan was quarantined in January, and international spread had already started.
Claiming it “started in March” shows this author is ignoring facts in an effort to make some kind of point.
It’s fake news.
Undoubtedly everyone is a carrier or infected otherwise why quarantine healthy citizens ..... We the People can always be certain our government officials would never lie to US
In mid December I met a Chinese American lady who frequents Chinese stores. At Christmas time I had the worst case of what was not diagnosed as the flu I have ever had. I am not sure if the timimg is right but, people tell me they think I may have had the virus.
in Australia, the Govt’s call for an inquiry into the origin of SARS CoV2, has earned the ire of a couple of billionaires! extraordinary what they have to say:
30 Apr: West Australian Today: Kerry Stokes calls for China backdown, urges Canberra to ‘respect’ wet markets
By Nathan Hondros
Media mogul Kerry Stokes has used the front page of The West Australian newspaper to call on Prime Minister Scott Morrison to appease China’s anger at Australia’s push for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Stokes, who controls the paper’s publisher Seven West Media, also mounted a defence of the exotic animal wet markets where the virus is believed to have broken out.
“If we’re going to go into the biggest debt we’ve had in our life and then simultaneously poke our biggest provider of income in the eye it’s not necessarily the smartest thing you can do,” his newspaper reported him saying...
Mr Stokes said China”probably owes the world an explanation on the origins of COVID-19”, but that “we need to stop making accusations”...
Mr Stokes is the second WA billionaire to attempt an intervention in Australia’s relationship with China this week.
On Wednesday, iron ore billionaire Andrew Forrest was accused of ambushing the Australian government after he parachuted one of China’s top diplomats into an official event, blindsiding Health Minister Greg Hunt.
Mr Forrest, the chairman of FMG Resources, surprised Mr Hunt by inviting China’s consul-general for Victoria Zhou Long to speak alongside him after he secured 10 million coronavirus tests from China...

29 Apr: Australian Financial Review: Twiggy Forrest urges delay in virus inquiry until after US election
by Andrew Tillett
Mining magnate Andrew Forrest has urged the Morrison government to shelve its push for an international inquiry into the origins of COVID-19, as senior ministers labelled China’s ferocious objection to a probe as “ludicrous”...
Mr Forrest, whose iron ore fortune was made off the back of exports to China, said any inquiry should be on hold until after the US presidential election in November.
“A COVID-19 inquiry worldwide is commonsense but it is not to be a Chinese inquiry. That would make it instantly political,” he told the ABC.
“I also don’t see what the rush is all about. If this is held after the US presidential election, then let’s just say there is not going to be a political dog in this fight.
“There is a bloke in the White House [Donald Trump] who really wants to stay there because he is pushing blame as fast as he possibly can from anywhere else but himself and I don’t think this should be politically orientated.”

ANDREW FORREST CRAWLS FOR CHINA
Herald Sun (Andrew Bolt blog) - 10 hours ago
Billionaire Andrew Forrest makes most of his money from China. Yesterday he performed a world-class crawl to China, trashing our call for an independent inquiry into how this Chinese virus started and praising the dictatorship’s handling of it. He’s even suggested the virus started in Australia...
Vested interests. Enough said.

We have a ton of them in the megacorporations that control 90% of our media.
This kind of sloppy article is counterproductive. Early victims weren’t all linked to the wet market. Such disinformation shouldn’t be repeated.
Had a co-worker come back from a business trip to CA in mid-January, sick. He spread it to the whole east-coast team. I got it in early February, and it lasted 4 weeks. Wife was about 2 weeks behind me. I am in the “most severely affected” category, and it was rough, but rather like the flu (which I thought it was at the time). I totally believe this is one of those manufactured crisis’s that the left is not letting go to waste.
I did NOT. Took antibody test yesterday. Had results this morning.
Yep. I took a cruise over Thanksgiving. Got sick in Jan with flu like symptoms with a cough that lingered for weeks before going away. I’m sure I had it. Got to get an antibody test
ps
The French say that nicotine prevents infection. So I got that going for me too.
That is a dangerous thought process, Comdrade - we would like to send you to a camp so you can rethink that....

........
“Started in March” referred to the outbreak in North America. Didn’t contradict the specific facts.
