      This is astonishing silliness. There is ~literally no evidence~ that COVID-19 was spreading in Wuhan in Aug/Sept 2019 This whole thing is a HOT MESS 1/npic.twitter.com/SHQ2dxoGKW

      I have two strong objections. 1. The rise in the sample images seems to come from new car park construction and carparks that are obscured in the 2018 reference photos. 2. Those are national search trends. Wuhan is a fraction of 1% of the population.https://twitter.com/K_Sheldrick/status/1270344839893114883?s=19 …

      E.g. in this photo dropped to ABC you can see the rise is primarily due to a new carpark that was a construction site in 2018 (centre top) and a carpark that is blocked by a building in the 2018 reference photo (right). That anybody thought you could compare the two stuns me. pic.twitter.com/4M37Kht0xD

          Saw the photos - it just looks like a ‘brownfield’ area where some older [obsolete] buildings have been demolished ready for a car park expansion. In the second image the new car park has tarmac. Most hospitals in the UK have this sort of Estates management & redevelopment.🙄

          Couldn’t influenza also account for cough in fall?
