This very irresponsible reporting, that you don’t see often on Reuters.

People get sick, especially in autumn. And they infect each other. Reporting that some people working at the lab were sick, without any knowledge about kind of sickness is only going to add fuel to the conspiracy theories.

One of the challenges is that the further we get from the time, the harder it is to determine. We may never know.

I suspect I had COVID-19 in the US late December 2019, but as of yet, the CDC doesn't acknowledge that possibility, and I've had enough exposure since that time that there's no reasonable way to test the hypothesis.

At a certain point, some of the investigations stop being practical to investigate further.

I also suspect this with the same timeline and a large number of my coworkers here in NY had a severe illness at the same time.

I was laid out in bed with the worst upper respiratory infection of my life for most of late December and then again for two more weeks in early January after a brief recovery.

A handful of our coworkers had been in Wuhan in the 3-4 weeks prior.
