I think the idea of exposure and immunity sound fantastic in theory but it's also just as difficult for me to believe that to be true.

I remember seeing some charts a while back where the flu surveillance system went all wonky in a few states between November and January (Missouri and California were both actually mentioned in article I saw)
But I'm still very much in agreement with you. The idea that this bug was circulating as early as November seems virtually impossible.
