If coronavirus was this far spread in Jan already then there would have been much higher positives in late Feb when people were starting to test outside China.

To an extremely high degree it was just the annual flu.

This is the crux of the matter. I believe this was widely spread in Jan and we are way further ahead than assumed

Looks like mid-February was the first spike in Italy: https://www.corona.cloud/italy

NEVER MIND. That chart appears to be global cases.

Not if you're only running tests on people ending up in ICU and not mild cases.
