    I personally believe the Ft. Detrick narrative. There were half a dozen schools shut down in the immediate vicinity in November of 2019 due to a highly transmissible respiratory virus. Covid was a product of usamriid and you'll have a tough time convincing me otherwise.

      A close family member of mine got it and she lived in Frederick relatively near Ft Detrick. She said it was the worst flu she ever had and retrospectively she thinks she had covid. She never got covid after that despite being a nurse. Also, one of my other family members in the frederick area worked in nursing home and a mysterious respiratory virus killed a lot of the residents. I have more stories but I don't want to dox myself.

          No, one about 10 miles from ft detrick in Myersville. It never made the news as far as I'm aware. Those things didn't always make the news pre-covid.

      I like that theory too, but it is still possible that it is just a coincidence and that some American(maybe even some gov agent) caught the virus abroad and then traveled to the US in early 2019.

      It doesn't explain how the virus got to China other than some unlucky person caught it near some foreigner in a T1 city and then traveled to Wuhan after.

      It is practically almost undeniable that the virus existed for quite some time before before December 2019 already.

        There was an international armed forces athletic competition in Wuhan in November of 2019, there's a link in this thread from an armed forces news site detailing all the US armed forces folks who competed there.
