Wife and I were deathly ill in late nov 2019. Wrecked for three weeks right after spending time in Miami customs. Everything but loss of taste and smell.

The Ethical Skeptic presents a well developed, detailed, graphically supported and logical case that SARS-CoV-2 actually escaped from a Chinese lab in early 2018, spread and mutated more slowly than announced, was kept as a mystery, though Chinese (and other) people were hospitalized a lot in 2018 and 2019. Chinese SARS-CoV-2 cases were actually in a final third-wave peak when "discovered" in Wuhan in late 2019.

Due to natural immunity, China was able to have great success with lockdowns, as it would have had with doing nothing at all.

The rest of the world was misled, but found ways to make political lemonade out of the lockdown-lemon. Regions of Asia and Oceana, like India and Australia, actually had a lot more herd immunity by 2020, which was explained and dealt with in different ways.

The saga of the lost Omicron variant is also investigated in detail. This variant has a last common ancestor with other COVID strains a long time ago, which could (barely) have happened if it derived from an initial lab leak in March 2018, but it may well have been released later, even intentionally, due to its specific engineered characteristics. It is not more deadly, but quite different, and does evade the antibodies to January 2020 spike protein very effectively.

If this virus is actually spread more through (Gross!) aerosolized fecal particles, then a mode of spread to whitetail-deer is readily explained, and also some of the early patterns of mass epidemics in the US. Mapping graphs explain this.

Yes, there was also a 3-week-chest-cold going around fall/winter of 2019. I saw lots of people with it and caught it. I later had a COVID antibody test in April 2020, which was negative. I had a patient almost die in the hospital Nov/Dec 2019. All they found was "coronavirus" I learned about it in January 2020. "Coronavirus" was conceptually different by January.

entirely possible...we will come to learn.
