I have yet to know anyone personally with this virus. What a difference a week makes! Universities are going online, parade is postponed, NBA games shutdown! Yikes! I like the few media items I've read regarding H1N1, 1918 Spanish Flue, SARS, etc. This is what I'm saying, these conditions have been around , even back to 1918 Spanish flu. As a statistician, business analytics, anyone with Covid-19 in 2019, would have been ICD 10 coded, for example to a flu code. Lumping covid-19 in with influenza. Impossible to know exactly when this virus came to be.

@Erinmfs- Yes, you are right, they have. COVID-19's DNA and RNA are unknown. Very little about it is unknown. People are frightened because of this and the death rate is very high. Right now everyone wants to prevent their outcome but keeping older people and those with pre-existing conditions from contacting.this virus is a priority. I believe this virus was known as early as 2 years ago.
