Please give location when making statements about potential early Covid-19 cases. We need city and state in order to draw conclusions.

[TheRake]

I stopped reading at CNN. Why do we post from sources that hate the president and by extension, hate us?

Suburban Cleveland Ohio.

My husband had something very similar. A good 2 weeks of being really sick. Same timeframe.

But here you are on this thread—and posting to it!

West Virginia Feb 3-14 I had a weaponized version of something. It started with a cough, high fever, nausea and ended with walking pneumonia and diarrhea. Age 59. Public school teacher with an awesome immune system.

The terrorists are taking notes for the future, assuming this wasn’t already an act of terrorism.

Considering how the market has tanked and how much the left is blaming it all on the President no matter what he does, I'm calling it China Collusion with the Democrats.

[DoughtyOne]

No kidding...

[Steven Tyler]

Is Hillary still coughing on folks.
Hillary had a nasty lingering cough in 2016

Hillary is prolly patient Zero

[mmichaels1970]

Yeah. My wife called it “the man flu”. She thinks I’m a sissy.

[DoughtyOne]

I don't mind us posting the information, because we need to know what the enemy is up to.

But do we have to accept it as gospel truth?

For some of us, that answer is undeniably yes. That's the disgusting part.

For heaven's sake, man up Conservatives.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, and I'll continue to do so for things that do nothing
but stir the pot.

I am in NC and so many people had this. It was blown off as just a flu and may have been. I have lung issues anyway so I get hit with everything that the wind blows my way and it is hard for me to recover.

[lewislynn]

The reaction to this by some people has gone beyond the verge of mental illness. This is hysteria.

And that's just on Freerepublic.

[9YearLurker]

You sound like the chief of police caught in the local house of ill repute.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Thank you! ❤️ I flew to the ME just over 10 years ago and got a lung infection that makes it hard for me to recover from anything when respiratory issues are involved. To this day. 😠

[lepton]

Yeah, the arc has looked like mid to late November for quite a while.

[lepton]

That;s why people who had pneumonia in December and January now suspect they already had the novel virus.

That’s why they suspect. Essentially it is WebMD-hypochondria.

The first infected was likely in Mid-November, but there weren’t enough numbers to make it likely to travel to the US until mid-January - even taking into account China’s deceit.

[lepton]

From everything we have seen so far (exponential growth), it doesn’t seem that it could have been here earlier, or we would be in much worse shape by now.

---

Yep. And we would have been finding examples just by chance correlations of the sickness and x-rays for another cause, or by checks of pneumonia. Especially older folks.

Even bloggers can identify the effects of the Wuhan coronavirus on a CT-scan.
