Simple hypothesis that’s driven by zero proofs: a worker gets contaminated in the lab, but incubation takes a few days. A few days later, this worker happens to drop by the market and contaminate other people.
It’s not exactly like lab leaks are unheard of, and i don’t mean anything specific about China: containing things is hard and all labs and industrial facilities have leaks at some point. Even those who pretend to be the most secure (nuclear facilities) often have leaks that go undetected for months/years so it’s not hard for me to believe it’s a possibility in this case.
Note that i’m not saying i have any clue what actually happened. The only thing i’m sure of is that capitalism-driven density of population and deforestation don’t help to protect against diseases.
Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. We’ll probably never know and i’m ok with that. I’m personally more interested in the political response to Covid (the shock doctrine) rather than the cause.

A few days later this worker, who has incubated for a few days, somehow doesn’t infect:
Yeah, pull the other one. And I’d suggest ducking before you start contriving circumstances. William of Occam is preparing a backhand.
