2020, the year COVID outranks Cancer as the webs goto diagnosis for anything and everything

At the start physicians insisted on fever being a core symptom, but since then they have eased off on this. No fever does not mean no covid.

The official record has traced the first case back to November 17, so it definitely seems at least possible it was spreading earlier than we know.

I saw a report today that said most people going to hospital with covid-19 don't have a fever.

I don't remember if it was on december or january, honestly, but it was before the wuhan market jumped to the newspapers.

All tested members of my family were negative so far, so probably more around Jan than Dec, and probably not corona. Maybe just fungus spores or pollen

probably but not completely discountable.

its because people have been saying "hey what about this" despite the loud banging of the scientifically minded people yelling "NO EVIDENCE THEREFORE ITS AN ABSURD IDEA" that we know of a community spread case in the US that died on February 6th. Instead of a travel related case that died on February 29th.

so then was patient zero in US from travel on January 15th? January 1st? December 15th? December 1st? How many hops are really necessary

If patient died at Feb 6th, then it contracted covid about 1 month before that from somebody else, so Jan 1st, maybe.

I was going with 3 weeks, but yes early January like 2nd week 6th - 12th

and if that person was also community spread or travel spread then we are looking at mid-december either way.

> If you don't have a fever, it's probably not covid 19.

If you do have COVID-19, you're statistically more likely to not have a fever than to have a fever.
