Very interesting - although I didn't quite get what time period we're talking about for all the activity above? Is all ofthis craziness happening around November? Would be great to specifically get a sense of whether October -November are "special" when it comes to bats moving around, getting into new territories, etc. Pretty darn clear piece of the puzzle if the answer is yes... Also, Eddie - any insights on how "special" Wuhan may be? Do we know anything about how many wet markets? How many people frequent wet markets? Where does all of this rank compared to other cities? Forgetting about WIV right now, if we think about the most risky cities in China for coronavirus outbreaks, how high up on that list isWuhan?

In context

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

    I asked her about Nov-Jan. I don't we can say 'special' exactly. I've also been trying find about the wet markets. It's not easy.
