Kansas great-grandmother Lovell "Cookie" Brown died on Jan. 9, 2020. Originally, her death certificate cited "chronic obstructive lung disease," but it has since been updated to include COVID-19, making her the first official coronavirus death in the U.S. The Mercury News reports that Brown's family only learned of the amendment to her death certificate this week. Previously, the first recorded COVID death in the U.S. was Feb. 6, 2020. (Snip) John Eplee, a Kansas state lawmaker and physician, told Mercury News that Brown's case suggests the virus was "percolating" in the U.S. "before experts realized it." Similarly, an investigation found

It obviously came from all those Chinese people flooding into Kansas City. President Trump's fault again. /s

Go back to Oct.-Dec. of '19. There were many news stories of a mysterious lung disease killing people that used vaping products. At the time, pols were using it as a reason to pass reg.s restricting vaping. Suddenly, those stories vanished and Covid became a killer. Many. probably the majority of vaping products, both hardware and liquids are mfg. in China.

The day after Christmas I got sicker than I had been for as long as I can remember, the congestions was mostly head & nose but I did have chest congestion too. Lost my sense of taste and smell. I wonder.....
This was happening while Fraud Fauci was doing..... what was he doing except kissing ccp's butt?

Right, #3. I know someone in NH who became ill in Nov. 2019 with what docs said was the worst case of flu they'd ever seen. This young woman eventually developed a life-threatening pneumonia. Two months later she was returning to better health. She had travelled out of the US just prior to getting sick.
We may never disentangle the roots of this pandemic because the second the Dems realized they could capitalize on sickness, they figured out how to make it a political weapon to use against President Trump.
Unforgiveable.
These wretched, conscienceless Democrats. And they got in a despicable lying liar into the White House.

I personally know three people around Dec 19-Jan 20 who we all are certain they had what is now known as Covid. Same general symptoms as the ones commonly known..

I had covid that first week in January in 2020. They have cases going back into Sep 2019. Even though they report that guy from Washington got it at the end of Jan, It was a ploy to delay anyone from doing anything so they would get it. Remember Nancy in Chinatown saying to go visit it without a mask. She was trying to jump start the disease.

Also let us not forget Nannie's visit to China Town inviting all of San Fransisco to come-on-down and enjoy the Chinese New Year. Wow, what a new year it turned out to be.

Gee, what happened to "covid death totals are being inflated by citing covid even when it wasn't the cause of death" conspiracy theory? Are we done with that? Looks like.

No conspiracy, #10, you can download the file for yourself from CDC website then filter the columns to get the number of people who died FROM Covid, not just WITH Covid and the number will shock you (unless you think numbers are a conspiracy). The last time I checked, that number was under 10 K. Are some people still allergic to facts? Look like.

In December of 2019, I had a flu like illness that was not the flu. I treated it like a bad cold and it went away in about a week. When the covid story hit in the spring, I recognized the symptoms. I am quite sure I had it then.

Oops.
My son and dil were both very sick with respiratory illness in Jan 2020. They live in Seattle. Their doctor told them it wasn't flu. When COVID became a known entity they both said, well, we had it. Six months later they were suddenly convinced they hadn't had it so they got the jab in March of this year. The only reason I can sort out they changed their minds is that Fauci and his propaganda convinced them since they didn't die they must not have had it. They have lived in abject fear ever since.

Woman in my office had it Oct. 2019. Exact symptoms, physicians were flummoxed. She miraculously survived, but she still has effects. China needs to be economically buried.

I wish the story had some explanation.
How do they know she had COVID?
Why did it take 18 months to make this determination?
Really bad journalism.

COVID was spreading while Democrats and the media were desperately trying to impeach Trump. At least we know who to blame.
