First emergence of Covid-19?

A report today that the first person in France to fall ill with Covid-19 was in December, not later as previously thought. In the UK, the first report of someone (a Chinese national) with the virus was here in York in January, but a friend has told me she thinks she had it in early November after her brother returned from a business trip to Wuhan. The brother stayed with their sister and though all three got ill, her husband didn't. They all thought it was just a very bad dose of flu. And so it might have been, but it sounds like too much of a coincidence. The virus may well have been circulating for much longer than originally thought.

It's not over yet. Stay safe people!
