You mean the first IDENTIFIED case after the virus was named.......
I suspect the virus was creeping into this country as early as November, maybe even October and all the people who thought they had colds or pneumonia actually had the virus......
It should be easy enough to find out, just test the individuals who were sick back in October, November and December for the virus antibodies........

I wonder about that too. I was short of breath through much of January and February. Started the first week of January well before Covid hit the news.
I mentioned it to my doc when I saw him in March for some other matter. My lungs were clear, he said it may have been mild asthma- but to me it didn’t feel like any other asthma I’ve ever had. And it didn’t respond to my asthma meds. It eventually went away all on its own.
I’ll be interested in taking the Covid antibody test when it’s available, see if I’m positive. But who knows. Maybe it was mild flu. Or the asthma that my doc suspects.
