I don't suppose they looked into movement patterns? It's sorta interesting that cases South-East have no connectionto the market, while North-West do.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    This figure is pretty interesting [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-29 at 8.29.31 PM.png]

    The market is basically smack in the middle of the main cluster

    That line that bisects the cluster is the main river - WIV is South-East of that river, Huanan market North-West

    If only we had timing on these cases... Where are the early cases? South-East or North-West of the river?

    Seems like North-West also primarily residential - at least from what I can get from Google Maps (naming of the districts within the city). [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-03-29 at 8.33.14 PM.png]

    Good questions My take on the whole thing is that they clearly think there's an intermediate host and they are holding up the marketas an example of the trade that leads to this transmission Daszak clearly thinks it the market which is why he sent me the video There's a lot on the market in the main doc - 2 journos told me they had the same impression

    Yeah, I get the sense that the Chinese are trying to deflect as much as possible away from the market, not being concerned with the lab leak because they know it didn't come from there. But it certainly isn't helping - the market,by far, seems like the most logical explanation.
