      As Tufekci points out, much of this systems thinking was happening in the flurry of published scientific articles about COVID by January. Like this one: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316

    (a bunch of things "we're just finding out now" are in those early reports, like this: "some patients can present with gastrointestinal symptoms … asymptomatic infection … Early infections with atypical presentations may have been missed.")
