Filed for BK7 on February 26?????
Not many cases of COVID at that time in the USA.
From January 21 through February 23, 2020, public health agencies detected 14 U.S. cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), all related to travel from China (1,2). The first nontravel–related U.S. case was confirmed on February 26 in a California resident who had become ill on February 13 (3). Two days later, on February 28, a second nontravel–related case was confirmed in the state of Washington (4,5).
Would like to know how Covid caused the BK7. Were you living in Wuhan?
Would appreciate not rubbing salt into the wounds but if one must insist, some of the freight/carrier industry (of which is critical to my occupation) with fore contact with persons at various east coast receiving harbors, already experienced the handwritings on the wall well before any so called official public announcements.
Jan. 28: 'Monitoring' since December
Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services and chairman of the coronavirus task force, told reporters during a press briefing that the U.S. has "been monitoring this virus and preparing a response since back in December."
Jan. 30: WHO declares global health emergency
The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a "public health emergency of international concern." Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the WHO, praised China for its quick response to the crisis, saying the emergency declaration "is not a vote of no confidence in China."
Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services and chairman of the coronavirus task force also announced a temporary suspension of entry into the United States of foreign nationals who had been in China in the previous 14 days. The ban was effective Feb. 2.
Previously, the first U.S. death had been thought to occur Feb. 29 outside Seattle. The autopsy findings revealed that the virus may have been spreading in U.S. communities earlier than previously known. The two people died during a time when very limited testing was available only through the CDC, and the agency's testing criteria restricted testing to only individuals with a known travel history and who sought medical care for specific symptoms.
