"Just a quick timeline as I understand it:\n \n\n\n\t\n\t\tThe virus is identified late November/early December of 2019. (Hence the COVID-19 name)  This means the virus might well have been active and in motion well before then.  People in China very likely were catching, suffering with and getting over COVID-19 since some time before it was recognized.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tThe world takes notice late in Jaunary.  This means that the virus had a full two months, maybe three or four, to be spread around the globe.  All over the place, people have been getting \"flu\" and going through all the flu like symptoms including death for some.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tFebruary through today ... the numbers of people infected increases at alarming rates.  BUT, it is my firm belief that it is only the testing that has increased so dramatically.  The disease spreads, with carriers infecting others well before they actually suffer symptoms.  But I do not believe we went from two cases beginning of February, to 1000's all over the Country in less than two months.  It is only the testing that has spread, catching up to those infected.\n\t \n\n\n\n\tIt is contagious.  It is NOT fatal if you're healthy when you get it.  It might be fatal if you have some other condition that is exacerbated by this virus.\n \n\n\n\tBe careful.  Clean up and clean yourself.  Act like you have it and don't want to spread it.  DON'T act like everyone else has it and you need to fear for your life around them.\n \n\n\n\tMe?  I'm going fishing.\n \n"
