Not evidence per se, but suspicious, and casts doubt on their earlier conclusions.
There's plenty of coincidental and other high suspicious things, but if there were hard proof it wouldn't be much of a controversy.

Either way, as far as action items: 1) We should tighten up all infectious disease labs AND 2) We should have higher global food standards (wet markets, etc) AND 3) Improve indoor air filtration, everywhere As far as I can tell, we've done none of those things.
