> Lab leak is a lab leak.

It’s an interesting question though. Working off of a lab leak theory, how did the first known cases all come from the wet market?

Is it just coincidence that an infected scientist traveled to the outdoor market and infected others?

With human to human transmission, you’d think it would have spread more rapidly among a scientist’s friends & family in an indoor setting.

When the US was doing contact tracing early on, I think the number of outdoor transmissions was extremely low.

We are told that they visited the market. But in reality it doesn’t make much sense why a busy wet market produced only a couple of covid patients.
