@Andrew Rambaut Hah, yeah - and Joel's paper adds some nice enough data to this. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2021/03/17/science.abf8003

See how this starts North (right where Huanan market is) of the Yangtze river and then moves South (where WIV) is.This is exactly the same pattern we see from the confirmed case data. Just imagine the kind of effort it would take tofake this data as part of a cover up? Just not believable.I'd say this a win for John Snow - triangulation has worked for a couple of hundred years, turns out it still works.

Same thing happened in the African-American communities in New Orleans - we should write a paper.
