Were they connected to the lab?
- cjhopman 6y agoWell, they weren't. But conspiracy theories are rarely about what things are or what happened and more about incredulity about what things aren't.
- cjhopman 6y agoAlso, wtf is with your blatant misquote of even this biased article. It's 14 of the first 41 have no connection.

- Jon_Lowtek 6y agoAbout those "41 earliest cases": "By Jan 2, 2020, 41 admitted hospital patients were identified as laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection in Wuhan." - from the source cited by the article. Those are not "the first who had it", they were identified hospitalised cases. It is guesswork how many people were infected at the time, but assuming ~ 10^3 in Wuhan at January 2nd 2020 seems likely. Remember: France had cases in December, as did Italy: - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/04/french-hospital-discovers-covid-19-case-december-retested https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/04/french-hospita... - https://smartwatermagazine.com/news/smart-water-magazine/study-detects-coronavirus-northern-italys-wastewater-december https://smartwatermagazine.com/news/smart-water-magazine/stu...
