As I wrote on HN early 2020, Wuhan and Shanghai had direct flights to SFO and LAX of 50,000 passengers per week. No doubt corona was in SF very early, possibly late 2019.
SF got herd immunity from infections, which is why it was rare that we came anywhere close to ICU capacity. I watched the graphs daily for months, and while the rest of the country was losing their minds, we just didn't see much of a dent, typically in the range of 10% of total beds.
The only hysteria was from Newsom, who has ambitions of running for President.
