Another two cases needed to investigate is a) whether many of the cases are along the railway between Wuhan lab and the airport to where the bat lived and b) there was a case of infection well before that on bat to Human during the bat study. The whole thing is sad that it is humanity at stake but we have a country so powerful it is in the way to prevent further study. Sigh. Let us see.

I expect the fact that this virus emerged in Wuhan during the World Military Games makes the Chinese very cautious about allowing in 'investigators' from countries that potentially deployed this biological weapon.

  Interesting that this is downvoted without a reply. I guess people have conclusive evidence that a foreign country didn't just attack China? Feel free to share/link it if you do. HN feels like the same kind of echo chamber that would have attacked me for saying not to invade Iraq in the early 2000s... Anything our historically dishonest intelligence agencies imply about foreign countries is eaten up like gospel truth without any skepticism.

    I think it's because if you think about it critically for more than 3 seconds, you will see that it is a tin foil hat idea with many, many holes.

From Nicholas Wade's article (it's now the canonical reference for this stuff): "Steven Quay, a physician-researcher, has applied statistical and bioinformatic tools to ingenious explorations of the virus’s origin, showing for instance how the hospitals receiving the early patients are clustered along the Wuhan №2 subway line which connects the Institute of Virology at one end with the international airport at the other, the perfect conveyor belt for distributing the virus from lab to globe." https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-the-clues-6f03564c038 https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-th... (third to last paragraph)
