It's not too surprising to anyone following the events. Retroactive blood testing of donated blood should the original strain (the phrase original variant sounds like an oxymoron) having reached places like France and NY months earlier than we realized, certainly November if not September of 2018. The magic of the virus is its ability to travel and spread undetected due to asymptomatic carriers. At least now widespread testing is available and we're able to track new variants in geography and time. Looks like the mutated one mentioned just hit France a couple of days ago.
