StatModeling commenter on Wuhan geography and COVID-19 origins
A key question for the lab-leak proponents is why the initial cases seem to cluster around the market, and there are no initial cases right around the lab itself. The market is across a river and a significant distance away from the lab, so these are distinct locations. This is a major weakness in that theory.
