I lived in Macao, China for 6-plus years, and I have been to wet markets. Isn't this simply a model of spread with other contributing factors to find an origin? The other point is that the Wuhan Huanan Haixian Seafood Market is close enough to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, 26 min. 19.6 km, that I can picture lab personnel stopping by the market to pick up premade lunches, or raw food for cooking later at home. If they had an unnoticed mishap at the lab, and were carrying the COVID virus, this would explain how it took off at the market where many people congregate. The fact that bats and pangolins were not sold there per an Oxford University study, and all of the animals they tested around the WIV and far from it, did not have the SARS-CoV-2 virus, kind of points to a potential modeling error or wrong conclusion. This and the 292 pages finally released by the NIH that are so redacted to be totally useless, certainly raises the stink level. What are they redacting? Hey, if they did nothing wrong they should have nothing to hide, right. I am now a vegetarian, but I used to go to the wet market and choose a live chicken, and have it butchered to bring home. They were pretty messy places, and would by no means pass around here, although you take your chances with street food anywhere, I guess.
