I'm not so sure about that, since Wuhan researchers regularly went to bat caves to collect virus samples. The bat caves being over 1000 km away from Wuhan, it seems not that unlikely that sars-cov-19 was brought from the bats to Wuhan on one of those field trips. Then again, it may very well be the case that Wuhan was not the place of the first transmission to humans, just the one were it first happened on a large enough scale to be noticed and recognized as something new. I think there's not enough evidence to dismiss any of the transmission routes.
