No I definitely saw an article where they found traces of it in samples that were 2 years old, waste water or something. Right now the oldest I can find is this from Spain, March 2019, 9 months before China. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-spain-science-idUSKBN23X2HQ
This alone is enough to say this didn't come from a Chinese lab.
2 months you mean?

They've identified patented genetic code in covid from a patent that is 3 years pre-pandemic , so I'm pretty sure that I did see a 2 years old one. The identification of this within the genetic code is probably responsible for the new position by the US gov too in my opinion.
I am certain I saw one that was 2 years old.
