Why reach so hard to link this to a Wuhan wet market vs a generic leak? They didn’t sell bats at the market as far as I have read, and what’s the difference? Lab leak is a lab leak.
It's a 45min drive between the Hunan market <> WIV building:

* In and around WIV
* In and around the scientist’s homes, families and neighborhoods
From the news I’ve seen all of the initial known cases were traced back to the market.
It’s an interesting question though. Working off of a lab leak theory, how did the first known cases all come from the wet market?
Is it just coincidence that an infected scientist traveled to the outdoor market and infected others?
With human to human transmission, you’d think it would have spread more rapidly among a scientist’s friends & family in an indoor setting.
When the US was doing contact tracing early on, I think the number of outdoor transmissions was extremely low.
