It would be conspiratorial in nature because it questions the Chinese government's official narrative that the virus emerged from a seafood market, and implies they're covering up the truth.
Of course, people usually use the term "conspiratorial" to be synonymous with "untrue" or even "patently absurd."
- busterarm 7y agoWe already know for sure that the initial cases did not originate in the seafood market and that the market was just an infection vector for subsequent cases. Recently available data shows that the first few cases happened in November.

While we're at it: <s>Isn't it convenient that it appeared smack bang in the middle of China right about 2x incubation periods before Chinese New Year, the greatest annual migration in human history? Also that it's the first major virus outbreak to be described to the public as driven by asymptomatic carriers? And right after a 'trade war'? Before an election? What's to say it wasn't a ... drumroll please ... foreign or rogue scientist bioweapon?</s> cue for Dr. Evil cat stroking
