    1. Maybe you don’t, but here the pattern of outbreaks is very well known.
    2. Harlem to Brooklyn. You don’t have boots on the ground here. I do. This is not a feasible scenario. In the slightest.

    And this is the problem I have with ALL of the reportage on this. All y’all are ignoring the actual, you know, experts. In this case the expert in the local geography as well as the person who lived through the outbreak, saw the notifications on his SMS and WeChat, etc. No, it is not even remotely believable that a lab leak on the other side of the Yangtze river 24km away as the car drives would only show up in a remote market. You’d have to throw in so many extra entities to try and support that story that William of Occam will rise up out of his grave just to backhand you.

    But hey, you be you over in rat-licking Plagueistan, OK?
