Why do we call it "COVID-19" when it didn't appear until February 2020?

One of the MANY question we are not "allowed" to ask!

As we speak, weak minded dumb Bells are cowering in the safe rooms of their Washington state residences, wearing however many masks Fauci is recommending today, while mindlessly trying to fit jigsaw pieces together.

It did appear in China in 2019. That’s why it’s called Covid-19.

If these statistics are true...devastating!

I sent this to a doctor friend who toes the medical/media/government party line. I don’t expect a response.

Thread title should be Plandemic of the Vaccinated.

I succombed to the vac because I wanted to go on a cruise, and I’m 68 now. What do I have to lose? However, I’m at the age (late as it is) of trying to get costly term life insurance for my two daughters, one of whom is disabled. Wonder if the question “Have you been vaccinated” comes up.

The disease began and lasted, with varying degrees of frequency and seriousness, for over a year before the vaccines really got rolling; so there’s no way the disease can be blamed on the vaccines. They may not have been the most potent vaccines ever developed, but there’s no way they could create viruses out of nothing. Well over a half billion doses have been administered in the US alone, and none of the antivaxxer scare predictions have come to pass.

it’s just gonna get worse- the left is already touting the “Son of Omicron” variant as though the whole world is on edge because of it- it’s never gonna end with these folks- they can make up any variant they want, and any number of folks who are ‘affected by it’- and we can’t question it- the fear mongering and power trip they are on will never end- Every flu season now they will trot out a new variant of covid, and claim it is sweeping the nation, and everyone must hunker down and weather it- mask mandates, school closures- businesses requiring vaccine passes- etc- If trump gets reelected- watch the msm scream and holler about new variants consonantly- and liberal states shut everything down again-

I think though the nation’s citizens are done kowtowing to the left- I see the truckers are gonna come to America next too- great news!

I’ve seen reports that extrapolations from blood bank antibody data exhibited about 2 million virus infections in the US by Dec 19.

Because the earliest confirmed cases of COVID date to late 2019, scientists added the “-19” to the end of the name to make it more specific.
https://blogs.webmd.com/public-health/20200713/why-is-it-called-covid19

Illness caused by SARS-CoV-2 was termed COVID-19 by the WHO, the acronym derived from “coronavirus disease 2019.” The name was chosen to avoid stigmatizing the virus’s origins in terms of populations, geography, or animal associations.
https://www.medscape.com/answers/2500114-197404/why-is-coronavirus-infection-called-covid-19

In simple terms-COVID 19 stands for, Corona (CO) Virus (VI) Disease (D) and 19(2019) the year that the virus first hit.
It was given this name by the World Health Organisation, who said: “Having a name matters to prevent the use of other names that can be inaccurate or stigmatising.”...
Since it was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019, the outbreak has rapidly evolved, with the WHO labelling COVID-19 as a global pandemic...

SARS-CoV-2s was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology just in time for the Chinese New Year celebration. Wuhan was the place to go for this yearly celebration. Travelers from all over the world would travel to Wuhan. What a perfect place and time to infect the world with this nasty virus.

--- "One of the MANY question we are not ;allowed' to ask!"

The OFFICIAL data gatherers and reporters seem to begin with an idiotic underlying assumption -- that their data gathering and reporting is true.

If the root data is true (rather than points to easily-seen and massive anomalies, then the following is "true."

As of 29 January 2022, according to worldometers' "official" data,

( 5,669,541 "worldometers official" global deaths / 7,923,543,454 global population ) x 100 = 0.072 %

Less than one tenth of one percent "officially" Covid dead over two years worldwide, says worldometers' data.

As of 31 January 2022,

( 5,665,468 "JHU official" global deaths / 7,924,043,134 global population ) x 100 = 0.072 %

Again less than one tenth of one percent "officially" Covid dead over two years worldwide, says Johns Hopkins University's data.

If "true," then over now MORE THAN TWO YEARS this hasn't been the enormous, media-enflamed and politics-manipulated "mass die-off event" that such hysteria has made it to be.

In not "true," then the article's conclusion is glaringly apt.

"This is the greatest scam in world history. It would make Bernie Madoff blush."
