It'll be interesting to see when they test for antibodies if anyone actually had it before the first reported case in the U.S. on Jan 31. Since they tracked it so well I don't see how anyone had it before then but it's hard to know. I know flu type B was really nasty this year.

I was just speaking with a friend who while visiting her grandchildren in WA over Thanksgiving last year became very ill and even lost her sense of taste and smell. Several of the children got pneumonia. She now believes they had the Wuhan virus. Many Chinese were visiting or living in the area and she believes it got there through some of them.
