A man had a bad case of pneumonia in France and later infected his children. During a retest of samples from late December, his came back +ve for COVID19. No travel history.
They think his wife (who worked near, the Charles De Gaulle airport) might have contacted it and been asymptomatic and spread it to him.
A few thoughts.

Since this was before Dr. Li’s warning and before anyone in China realized they were dealing with a weird type of pneumonia, it seems that we were fucked regardless of what the CCP did.

Considering that this flu season was a bad one, a thought I have seen expressed elsewhere is that…maybe this is the feared second wave and the “bad flu” season was the first wave. And maybe several countries missed that first wave and this is their first wave…this would explain why the effects seem so varied, with countries who should have had bad outbreaks being relatively unscathed.
