DJ-Both links in Dutch. In short; evaluating dossiers of early possible CoViD cases in NL a woman getting in hospital in the south-west part of NL on december 21-after 10 days of symptoms-may be the first CoViD-hospital case in NL. 

Unexpected high excess deaths for february 2020 was a reason to have another look at medical records. There were 15 pneumonia deaths at that time...even in a flu-season more then 10 pneumonia deaths for those hospitals would be extreme...Lung-x-rays also may indicate 9 out of 20 cases did have CoViD before the first official NL CoViD case was detected.

“Our findings demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies were detected in 40 out of 442 specimens, as early as September 23, 2019”

This retrospective study on blood specimens from measles patients collected from 23 September 2019 to 28 February 2020, reported from the 17 provinces of Angola, suggests evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection months before detection of the virus in Luanda, the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Angola. Our findings demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies were detected in 40 out of 442 specimens, as early as September 23, 2019.

 

** The graphic artwork seems to be out by 1 year. The paper clearly mentions September 2019, not 2020.**

So september 2019...however the linked article;

Materials and Methods: We examined the humoral response against SARS-CoV-2 by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based assay on a combined two-step sandwich enzyme immunoassay method. In total, we received 568 study patients with blood specimens collected from 23 September 2019 to 28 February 2020, 442 sera samples that met the criteria of the study were withdrawn and selected from the overall 568 received samples. In this study, we considered seropositives, patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) and M (IgM) antibodies with the index value > 1.
Results: Of the 442 sera samples that met the criteria of the study, 204 were measles seropositive. Forty out of 204 were confirmed reactive to SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins using IgG and IgM more than 2 weeks before the first reported case in Angola. The humoral response analysis showed significant differences (p = 0.01) between the IgG and IgM indexes in the unvaccinated measles patients. Similarly, a significant difference (p = 0.001) was seen between the IgG and IgM indexes in the vaccinated measles patients.
Conclusion: Here, using the humoral response analysis, we report the identification of early circulation SARS-CoV-2 infection weeks before the first recognized cases in the Republic of Angola.

DJ...the samples are from between september 2019 and february 2020...The study-as far as I see-does NOT indicate first Angola CoViD cases were allready in Angola september 23 2019...

Still-in my opinion-I think it would be welcome to have an open mind on the early start of this pandemic. A tunnelvision excluding possible start outside China is not science...It is very likely bats were involved...but bats are spread around the globe. African bats maybe could have played a role ???
