But there’s one data point being used in all of the prevailing models, including Imperial, that no one is talking about.
When did the COVID curve begin?
And it’s an important point. How can we interpret the data we currently have if we don’t know where on the time axis we actually are?

I use the date of the 1st fatality within a given region minus thirteen days. That should be close (plus or minus a week).
The national morons look at the death toll and think it’s a daily figure. Take the daily figure and divide it by the population of that district or state and you come up with a 10,000th of one percent.
Social media war against the first amendment continues. The story questions the desired narrative so it must be censored.
Medium censors another article that doesn’t toe the line.
They’ve done it a few times lately. Always contrarian to sky-is-falling.
I wonder when we really had the first exposure to COVID-19 in the CONUS?
They pulled it. Just like they did with Aaron Ginn’s article weeks ago.
Physician visits? The curve were all focused on is the infection curve.

Seriously, that was a very reasoned article with excellent footnotes.

erm... if you look at the difference between the two charts, visits versus positive flu results, it is pretty clear people were going to the doctor with flu-like symptoms but their tests were negative for influenza and something else was causing the symptoms.
What if Covid was already here back then. It changes the assumptions substantially.
That's why I wonder. The CDC makes it sounds like it was late in January 2020, but from many indications, it might have been in December. Our kid knew someone from work who was seriously ill (looking back, all of his symptoms were classic COVID-19, especially the difficulty breathing part). He had traveled from the western part of the US to Texas several days before Christmas. Based on the CDC's timeline, that would have been too early.
I am really sorry I didn’t do that now. I had no idea Medium was/is completely untrustworthy on the free exchange of ideas.
