I agree, we were having a bad flu year this year....over 20,000 dead in the US and counting, I bet if you could go back and look, a certain percentage of those cases were actually the new corona virus. When you watch on the news the "spread" of corona virus, you are actually watching the spread of testing. 2 months ago we were not even testing, if you had flu like symptoms in the doctors office you were presumed to have the flu.. There is no way this started in Seattle, this probably started in CA or NY (given the global transportation system) and has been out there for months.
