Not really. Several of us were saying that on the more informed parts of the net in December 2019.

Informed parts? Really?

I'm going to call bullshit.

The first "case" reporting ever was Dec 31 2019 Wuhan.

We were discussing it here Jan of 2020.

They weren't calling it "Covid" until Feb 2020.

It was "officially" "reported" by the Chinese government Dec 31 2019. There was chatter earlier than this. Depends on where you go. The week delay isn't big, but then again the more informed parts of the US web were calling for a border shutdown for many decades already, but that's besides the point. :)
