Thanks, it is really helpful. If the patient zero is from Shenzen, doesn't that weaken the hypothesis of an origin in a bat virus? (Population density = 6,100/k

I don't know enough about the cases. But initially identified cases doesn't equate to patient zero. I think it was just the first case chronologically identified.

There is a fair chance patient zero simply recovered and was never identified as carrier.
