probably but not completely discountable.

its because people have been saying "hey what about this" despite the loud banging of the scientifically minded people yelling "NO EVIDENCE THEREFORE ITS AN ABSURD IDEA" that we know of a community spread case in the US that died on February 6th. Instead of a travel related case that died on February 29th.

so then was patient zero in US from travel on January 15th? January 1st? December 15th? December 1st? How many hops are really necessary

If patient died at Feb 6th, then it contracted covid about 1 month before that from somebody else, so Jan 1st, maybe.

I was going with 3 weeks, but yes early January like 2nd week 6th - 12th

and if that person was also community spread or travel spread then we are looking at mid-december either way.
