China was just the first to discover it.

If this is true, then all the Western countries took a collective dump on China, and accused them of spreading the virus.

Some theories and timelines so far:

1) July 2019, a lot of strange pneumonia cases were reported in Virginia. The symptoms sounds suspiciously like Covid19. Two people die. [1]

2) Three months later, on October 18, 2019, French athletes that attended the Military World Games in Wuhan reported testing positive for the Covid19 antibodies. They are muzzled, and told to not talk with reporters. [2]

3) December 16, 2019, The first documented hospital admission in China.

4) China investigates, and determines this is a new virus. They report it to the W.H.O. on December 31, 2019.

5) China checks past records, and determines an earlier infection was on November 17, 2019. [3] About a month before their previous first known case.

6) A New Jersey mayor tests positive for the antibodies, and claims he got sick in November 2019, a month before China detected their first known case. [4]

7) December 27, 2019, A woman in Seattle [5], with no travel history to China, who tested positive for the antibodies, claims she got sick two days after Christmas. This is 4 days before China reports the virus to the W.H.O. And three weeks before Seattle’s first official case.

8) Jan 26, 2020, The Lancet theorizes that the virus did not originate from the seafood market. [6] Daniel Lucey asserts, “The virus came into that marketplace before it came out of that marketplace.” Thus, this was not from Chinese people eating bats.

Conclusion:

We don’t know anything for sure, but the W.H.O. needs to investigate those Virginia nursing home residents that got sick in July 2019, and test them for the coronavirus antibodies.

If, and this is a very big if, the virus did not originate from China, then, the western nations are going to have a very big egg on their faces. Especially after all their racist attacks against the Chinese people, for eating bats, and what not. And especially for demanding reparations of trillions of dollars in damages from China. Are they going to pay up instead? The mystery continues.
