It’s definitely plausible, but then wouldn’t you expect multiple outbreak sites?

* In and around WIV

* In and around the scientist’s homes, families and neighborhoods

From the news I’ve seen all of the initial known cases were traced back to the market.

Not necessarily. If you look at the nature of superspreading events, it's quite often confined to a single site as opposed to infecting people they meet as they travel. In addition, most of the transmission comes from a minority of infected people, look up "overdispersion".
