I think it’s time for news organizations to end the practice of having editors decide on the headlines instead of the reporters who write the stories.

#2: Yet, there was an even earlier case from the Huanan market. Mike notes that the case of Wei Guixian, a vendor who worked in the west market, was not in the WHO report – yet was interviewed by journalists and had lab confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection starting Dec 10/11.

#4: Finally; still, there were *some* patients in the first half of Dec who can't be contact traced to Huanan market. True of SARS1; the first case had no connection to a market; and the genomics shows that all Dec cases were closely related to Huanan outbreak.

This is true for the earliest known case of lineage A, which differs from the virus identified in cases directly linked to Huanan by just 2-3 mutations. They lived just south of the market and shopped at a 2nd market just north it (4 other cases also connected to that 2nd market)

Of course, you can then still ask how the virus happened to get to a small market in a city larger than NYC, that just happened to be selling wild animals. Some people still think that was a mere coincidence- well I suspect we'll see more data about that in time.
