      New Spike Lee documentary about the pandemic opens with Ian Lipkin—Columbia virologist—saying he first heard about the outbreak on *December 15th*. Watched it three times to make sure I heard it right. Lee asks and Lipkin repeats the date. This is a big deal, no? December 15???pic.twitter.com/nE355EALac

          I had read about it in the news no later than 12/17/19. I asked someone at a meeting that day if they’d heard about it & said I had a very very bad feeling about it. All I remember about the article is that scientists were baffled & that not much info was being shared about it.

          same. If non scientists knew, you can be sure the scientists in Wuhan, CCPChina and WHO knew.https://twitter.com/MarloVanMarck/status/1212537984219639808?s=20 …

          I'm not getting your point. 31st of December everyone knew. I think the WHO were officially informed 3rd Jan. However, It was in the Chinese media 31st, which is why Taiwan wrote to the WHO to ask what was going on. 27 cases of mysterious pneumonia, 7 critical.

          My friend who was traveling in Europe and Asia in December and January read a bulletin in Paris a few days before NYE about a new virus. Reports were sketchy and it stated it was a developing story.

          This is just anecdotal, but I have personal written records (messages to friends) of being upset by pics allegedly from China circulated on twitter in the last week of 12/2019 depicting people on hospital floors,body bags for babies &unexplained smoke columns from city buildings.

          Are you sure about that? And do you follow very specialized medical accounts Because as far as I know the first major mention of it in the US, was STAT newshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/business/media/stat-news-boston-coronavirus.html …
