It's total bullshit, he thought the question was about 2020. He just lies to cover that mistake up, and then goes on to admit he watched testimony from yesterday. Totally busted.
Edit: The timeline really doesn't work. He said he knew about COVID before he moved (prior to Sept, 2019). COVID doesn't happen until late October 2019 (they officially say Nov 2019 but we know better).
However, I will say that the COVID situation was brought to my attention in late Nov / early Dec 2019. China was doing odd shit around that time, so commentators were talking about it.
I was the only one thinking about it in March 2020, before I went on vacation. Asked my boss if I should take my work home, in case we didn't come back in.
