I think it's been here since December, probably mid-december b/c it got loose in Wuhan early December and there's so much travel to and from there that I'm betting at least 1-2 people from there brought it within a week or so of it getting loose in the streets of Wuhan. By January when we thought we were stopping it I bet there were already several people bringing it in and by that point we already had spread infections in the US.
I'm surprised how many people travel from here to there and back, but the number seems substantial, and I think this thing was already out of control in Wuhan by mid-december, maybe even a week earlier.
