At least two people who died in early and mid-February had contracted the novel coronavirus, health officials in California said Tuesday, signaling that the virus may have spread — and claimed lives — in the United States weeks earlier than previously thought. Tissue samples taken during autopsies of two individuals who died at home in Santa Clara County, Calif., tested positive for the virus, local health officials said in a statement. The victims died on Feb. 6 and Feb. 17, respectively. Initially, the nation’s earliest coronavirus fatality was believed to have occurred on Feb. 29, in Kirkland, Wash., a suburb

This is from the Bezos Post. Why do people persist in putting this schiff up? Chances are they have no idea if there were underlying problems or what really happened. Everything is due to the Chinese Flu. No one dies from those pedestrian Flus anymore. Are all other deaths also down? If you have the bug and get shot by an intruder, you are a Chinese Flu statistic. Ridiculous!

They tested positive for the virus in February. One died on Feb 6. which means it was contracted in January. Whether or not they died OF the virus is irrelevant but they died WITH it. Seems like Victor Davis Hanson and many of us here were right. This virus has been in the US far longer than the "experts" destroying our nation would have us believe. I bet if we keep digging we will find out that it got here last year.
We have lived with the virus unknowingly for months and somehow the world didn't end and we all didn't die. Now put your big girl panties on and get back to work!

Now we can expect an overnight increase of 50% while states pour through old death certificates to see who can be added to the COVID-19 death roles to get more of that Federal Disaster Relief Money. It will be the same as Democrats looking for mail in voters!

With their acknowledged gaming of the death statistics (every death of someone with the virus listed as a death due to the virus, even if death caused by another factor), I have no confidence that the American public is getting the real picture.

Truth or lies, we must soldier on. It has affected my mental paradigms in a big way, though.

This means nothing, except to people whose careers revolve around statistics. The virus was active in October and growing in Wuhan, so it's entirely possible someone could have brought it back to the U.S. even back then.

Click bait for the WaPo. I've got to go scrub the front porch again.

Yep, first deaths were happening during Nan's, Pencil Neck's, Jabba's, and Chuckie's impeachment circus.

1) WaPo story. Suspicious
2) Marginally believe the premise. I do believe the virus did not just magically appear on the recorded first day. People in the northwest were travelling back and forth to Asia in great numbers. I believe (can't prove) that the virus was around in October 2019 forward.
3) I do believe many cases were diagnosed as flu or pneumonia in that same time frame. All of us had the flu shots, I had the maga shot due to my age. All of us got sick and were diagnosed with the flu (we all know the shots are good about 20% of the time). It was a different kind of sick. But everyone recovered including me.
4) As we have witnessed with WHO, Fauci, Redfield, and Birx plus all their "experts" scientists and doctors can be bought for grant money, and in Fauci's case--fame.
Marginally accurate. But NY is making up for any "numbers" fallout by recording all deaths as the virus. Who cares?
And no, time to stop the shelter in place.

What was the original cause of death determined to be for these two before retroactive tests for covid-19 came back positive? If all the relevant details of this new discovery were reported by a COMPETENT (or HONEST) news source, I bet the takeaway would be that the 2 were living with covid-19 until something else killed them.
Was this even a live-virus test, anyway? Or an antibody test? If the latter, it would seriously damage the case for keeping us all under house arrest like this. (Because it would show that people were SURVIVING covid-19 before we even knew people were getting infected by it.)
