    The WA1 tree - fig 4 and 6 looks fine to me - but me and trees so i really dunno. However the midle guangdong tree looks like :hankey: and forced just based on where WA1 lands, but again i'm no good here at all.

    WA1 "The patient is a man in his 30s who lives alone. He had been traveling solo since November in Wuhan, China,a city of 11 million where the outbreak appears to have originated, health officials said. He had no symptoms on hisflight or when he arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Jan. 15, but he contacted doctors Jan. 19 whenhe developed a fever and cough, officials said. It's unknown which clinic he visited that day. The man was hospitalized for pneumonia and, on Monday, tested positive for coronavirus."
