Also, you really wonder why California experienced an unusual cold/flu season this year with a LOT of people in December 2019/January 2020 getting stronger than normal bouts of common cold and influenza. Is it possible COVID-19 went through California (which has a lot of flights to and from China due to huge expatriate Chinese populations in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles metro areas) and doctors at the time couldn't identify why? Does the phrase herd immunity apply here?

In short, the doctors and especially epidemiologists need to stop missing this in their pronouncements: 🎯

p.s. Now I wonder if that strange three-day cold I experienced in mid-December 2019 was a very mild case of COVID-19.... 🤔🤧😷

There’s a study underway to answer that very question. They drew blood on more than a thousand Californians in order to see. Answers in a couple of weeks.

No. It is not plausible that large numbers of COVID-19 cases were happening in the US at that time. Enough pneumonia cases would have resulted in x-rays or CT-scans that the distinctive patterns would have been noted and correlated, many times over. They could plausibly have misrecognized them as SARS at first, but they could not have missed so many examples.
