10:01 AM 5/13/2020 - The Oktoberfest Hypothesis of the Covid-19 Pandemic's start and origins
https://covid-19-review.blogspot.com/2020/05/1001-am-5132020-oktoberfest-hypothesis.html The average time period, from start to peak for the epidemics of the flu-like illnesses appears to be approximately 6 months. It looks like the present Covid-19 Epidemic in the Western Europe and New York peaked about April 1 or the beginning of April. This gives the time of the Epidemic start around the beginning of October 2019, the same estimate as in the recent studies. In my opinion, this assumed time frame points to confirmation of the Oktoberfest Hypothesis as the starting point for this Pandemic, which was spread around the world largely by the air travel from Munich, Germany, and later from the other "Karneval" cities in the Western Germany, by the more than 6 million tourists in attendance. The deliberate and intentional spread is very likely, in my opinion. The exact means and the mechanisms of this spread remain to be investigated and elicited. Michael Novakhov 10:01
