If we assume that it takes, on average, 14 to 20 days for covid-19 to kill people, this would mean that the first cases were starting to circulate in the U.S. in mid-to-late January by the latest (and possibly earlier).

One more point: since the American who died of covid-19 on February 6th didn’t qualify for testing at the time, that would suggest they *hadn’t* recently traveled to China. The upshot is covid-19 wasn’t just in the U.S. by mid-January, but was already spreading in the community.https://twitter.com/JeremyKonyndyk/status/1252815912048066563 …

That wouldn't surprise me at all. The moment it was announced they found the first *known* case who didn't get it in China I knew it was already loose in the USA and had probably spread across much of the country. I started stocking up on some food then.

Exactly right.

I can't be the only the one to think we got incredibly, incredibly lucky in Silicon Valley - this could have (should have?) been much, much worse here.
