    Amy: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00865-8"Plenty of animals were sold at the Huanan market. December 2019 records list poultry, badgers, rabbits, giant salamanders, two kinds of crocodiles and more. Chinese officials said that the market didn't sell live mammals or illegal wildlife, the report adds, but also references unverifiedmedia reports suggesting that it did, along with photos that Holmes published after a trip there in 2014, of animals such as live raccoon dogs."

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/29/world/asia/china-virus-WHO-report.html "Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, said he was not convinced that a laboratory leak was extremely unlikely, after seeing a copy of the report.* *He said he agreed that it was highly plausible that the virus could have evolved naturally to spread to humans, but he did not see any reasoning in the report to dismiss the possibility of a lab escape."
