Researchers believe they have found evidence that the novel coronavirus may have been circulating in the U.S. as early as late December, about a month before the current timeline from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.

This study, published last Thursday in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, found a statistically significant uptick in clinic and hospital visits by patients who reported respiratory illnesses as early as the week of December 22.The researchers noticed this trend by looking through nearly 10 million medical records from the UCLA Health system, including three hospitals and 180 clinics.

Elmore and her colleagues noticed the spike in respiratory cases by searching the field in medical records that lists why someone came to the clinic and searched for the symptom "cough." They looked at the records for the month of December 2019 through February 2020 and compared their findings to records from the five prior years.

While scientists may never know for sure if these excess patients were early COVID-19 cases, Elmore doesn't think it's out of the question. "Based on what we know of a few other studies and now this one, I think definitely this could be something," Hoyen said. "It's certainly something that needs to be considered."

"We know from the SARS-CoV-2 genetic data that the pandemic started in late November/early December in China so there's absolutely no way the virus could have been spreading widely in December 2019. From the same genetic data we know that widespread transmission didn't start in the United States until February 2020," Andersen said in an email.

Chinese posted videos of people crawling on the floors of hospitals dying and CTV News downplayed it along with Trudeau. Canada is world wide embarrassment for covid considering. How much notice we had and how few months we had it during flu season.

This is old news.

How about reports of military personal worldwide returning from exercises in Wuhan in October suffering from a ‘mysterious illness’? How about reports of our military special operations knowing about the virus in early December?

Stop spreading fake news please. I know you love CCP, but this virus was made in lab and released intentionally by Chinese communist party. You don't want be party of it.

Tucker Carlson: September 15 2020

We knew it was. Chinese doctors & lab workers were releasing footage & testimony on TikTok & WeChat. MSM ignored it. Facebook deleted videos people uploaded. Sheep may not know, but the rest of us do. China made Covid in a Wuhan Class 04 Lab. Truth is coming, MSM will hide it.

Might be all over the world earlier ! One of the biggest traveller in the world are the chinese ! Probably without them knowing it (only the Commies knew) they are silent carriers.

This sounds like a waste of time and money. If they're going to test racial disparity shouldn't they be testing everyone? Racist virus

Canada the rape country of the world. That sound right...might be worst SHOULD NOT BE 1 among ALL the secondary students. It's not always female students but male students will be more reluctant to divulge being assaulted. This also means there are many teachers who are ASSAULTING students. With 1 in 10 = 10 in 100, 100 in 1,000, 1,000 in 10,000.
