      Anniversary of Europe’s first lockdown in Italy where ~95K people died of COVID. A 38-year old man shows up at ER, can’t breathe but he only had dinner with people just back from China, he wasn’t in China. So not part of testing! Doctors had to fight to break protocol to test.pic.twitter.com/oVp7JwcwRI

      The key problem, in a nutshell. “We thought this was a far away problem that had to do with China, but it was already here with us, and not just from that February 20th but probably from much earlier.”https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-italy-first-doctor-idUSKBN2AK0BA …

      Nope. The suggestive, speculative evidence does not support that claim.

      No dispute of *some* circulation in Europe (and US) starting around *December*, as we know the spread in China started in November. But anything earlier is unsupported and it's not a conspiracy. The evidence isn't there no matter how much you fool yourself! Have a good day & bye.

          @m_soond has me blocked because he likes to block people that ask respectful scientific questions of his analysis. It's worth looking at the cross-reactivity of the serological tests. For example the Red Cross data is likely 1/7300 true positives not 2%https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1333841828118814720 …

          Follow up #1: Also, a reminder that we at the @seattleflustudy PCR tested 3600 samples from individuals with acute respiratory illness collected in January 2020 from Seattle and found zero positives for COVID-19. This is a much more specific assay. https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1249414295042965504 …

          I don't think that this study by Basavaraju et al from @CDCgov can be taken as evidence that #COVID19 was circulating in the US in December 2019. 1/10 https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa1785/6012472 …
