This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 77%. (I'm a bot)
The SARS-CoV-2 virus was likely circulating in northern Italy as early as November 2019, three months before the first case was formally identified in what would become the European region hardest hit by the first wave of the pandemic.
The new research adds to evidence that the virus began spreading in Italy months before it was first identified in China.
The first positive case of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Italy was identified in the town of Codogno, southeast of Milan, on February 21, 2020.

With how easy and fast people are able to travel around world nowadays. There is no way that we could actually identify the origin of this virus

There is still a pretty strong case for origination in or around Wuhan, China in 2019. It is somewhat well known the local officials there were actively denying/covering up the problem for quite awhile before the central government got wind of the scale of infections there.

Ehhh Just like America? Trump also admitted that he downplayed the virus as well. Idk if that would be an indicator of origin of virus. You can deny and downplay something that’s originated elsewhere

Like the Kansas originated "Spanish Flu" huh? I see, they have the tradition.

Is it possible the virus was already spread all over the world and China was the first country realized the epidemic and identified the virus?
Pretty much the Spanish Flu all over again. People blamed Spain because they're the first to report it even though it didn't originate there.
