I know exactly what you're referring to and I've been looking for the exact same thing myself: evidence of rural people who got sick without making contact with anyone.

During the 2 years following that 2019 illness, I occasionally saw people online talk about their experience with it but their conclusion was usually that they had simply gotten 'covid' before it was given a name.

I can add some anecdotal bits:

• I watched people at work get sick from it and recover as usual.

• I watched one women at work raise her voice fairly loudly in agitation (uncommon) when someone sneezed without covering their mouth. I'm pretty certain this was because of the number of people who were getting sick and because news chatter about the China outbreak was starting to have a subconscious impact.

• People at my workplace did not suspect that they had caught the China bug, primarily because everyone that had caught it recovered as they would from a nasty cold/flu, and the China bug was being described as some kind of deadly outbreak. I do think some people were starting to wonder about a connection to the China bug though.

• One of my co-workers had the sickness (whatever it was) and kept working while he had it. He looked like complete shit.

• The two most 'woke' people at my workplace (a gay couple) started wearing masks to work. I found it interesting then and I find it very interesting now. They had never worn masks before, and mask-wearing wasn't even a thing yet - it was just one of those strange things people in Japan did. This gay couple was wearing them as if they had received a political/activist memo/cue from somewhere. They even behaved like they were keeping a secret.

• My brother and I both got a very unusual illness in December 2019. It was like a nasty cold in pretty much every way except extreme fever and extreme head pressure that we had never experienced in our life. Nothing would make the fever or pressure go away. We both agreed that it felt like there was something artificial, like nanobots (that's the word we chose), that our immune system had no ability to fight. It was literally maddening. After 48+ hours of trying everything I could think of, I eventually found a trick to get rid of it. There was no nausea or digestive issues.

Sorry to dump a bunch of text on you. I'd want it dumped on me though. I want to know what caused that Dec 2019 illness.
