Every nationality I know of has stories of the worst flu they had last October to December, including Cambodia.

When panic is not being propogated its easy to overlook/assign covid to pneumonia/normal flu etc

OK, I'll make it easy for you, just post one original / official document stating Cambodia had an extremely bad flu season from Oct-Dec 2019. Then your statement is credible, at least to me. Now it's just hot air. At least to me.

France’s first Covid-19 case 'dates back to December', flu retest shows

A doctor in the Paris region says one of his patients who was diagnosed with pneumonia in December was, in fact, infected with Covid-19. The report, which is due to be published in detail this week, would make it the first known case of the disease in France – a month earlier than previously thought.

Dr Yves Cohen, head of the emergency services ward at the Avicenne and Jean-Verdier hospitals near Paris, says he went back through the files of patients who had been admitted with flu symptoms in December 2019 and January 2020.

"Twenty-four percent of patients had symptoms which could have corresponded to Covid-19," Cohen told French channel BFMTV.

"We re-tested the nasal swabs which were conducted at the time in relation to another diagnosis, to try and find traces of coronavirus," he explains.

"Out of 14 patients, one tested positive. We tested it two more times to make sure there was no mistake. And twice, it came back positive."

An analysis based on re-tested throat swabs from people in Wuhan, China, and Seattle, United States, suggests that thousands of people who had flu-like symptoms last winter could actually have had COVID-19.
