Could have been one person at the lab got infected, stayed home when feeling ill, passed it on to family etc.

There was a real covid lab leak in Taiwan by the way https://fortune.com/2021/12/10/taiwan-investigates-covid-lab... No one actually caught it off the researcher that time.




Ah. Thank You. Because if it started in November, very likely October, and possibly in September. I thought it would have started with those working in the Lab first.

I still dont know why every report are pin-pointing at the December Date. I thought it is rather misleading.


I think the cases officially recorded by the Chinese start in December but all the scientific projections think it's earlier see eg. https://mobile.twitter.com/ydeigin/status/150023570950819840...


They stopped all flight to Wuhan by 10th of November [1] ( even if the notice said 15 ). That was when they knew it was serious enough. Chatter of unknown "Lung Diseases" was already spreading by end of October on WeChat.
