I don't recall knowing it as early as March, but I could be wrong. It's been known to happen, lol. People can gather in crowds as long as everyone isn't infectious. One gregarious, extroverted infectious person in the crowd can spread a lot of virus pretty quickly. As soon as someone in a continuing care or nursing home gets it, it gets around. A medical staff person gets it, then he/she attends to others before they know they have it but they are still infectious, and then they spread it. And so on. If schools are opened in some states in the fall, I suspect we'll find out that children both get it more quickly than many people suspect and pass it on to their families. But--we will likely see if that suspicion is true or not, as Trump certainly wants to believe that it is not true as do his followers. Personally, I hope that they don't open up schools in my home state or my grandson's. But I don't have a lot of say in that.

what we didn't know in march though was the effect the virus had on the body .... not only does it affect the lungs, but also the stomach and intestines; heart and blood vessels; liver and kidneys; the entire immune system, and what we don't know yet, is how long patients will suffer from this even after they are no longer carrying the virus. we also didn't know how it could affect children. definitely not the flu as many claimed in the beginning.
