No, because the mortality rate is very, very low outside nursing homes. And cause of death in the early days won't be listed as corona, since it was an unknown disease.
The Wuhan "first patient" was admitted Dec. 6, but nobody believes he was "patient zero". Since he likely contracted it Dec. 1, that means there were others with corona in Nov. or before. (Chinese people I've talked to invariably mention Oct. as when they started to hear chatter about corona.)
