The new coronavirus was circulating in Italy since September 2019, a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) of the Italian city of Milan shows, signaling that COVID-19 might have spread beyond China earlier than previously thought.
Out of sheer curiosity because I gotta deal with some of the worst libs on a more regular occasion than I'd like: Is there any good sources for this? Like, think of the kind of source that libs who uncritically take everything AP and Reuters says at face value, for instance. I'm super curious, especially because an acquaintance had what they think was Covid in January, before it was supposed to have hit where it did.
It's not hard and done quite yet. It might even be a few more years. Evidence still has to be collected and peer reviewed, and it could end up going nowhere. These are just early signs that another timeline is possible.
Edit: but yeah the OP should be enough for the time being
