Misinformation alert. The outbreak is already dated to November, so October cases are not implausible *but* that paper has so many problems and so much hand-waving that it should not be cited, let alone made into news articles.https://twitter.com/borzou/status/1270250085084016641 …
I'm just being as generous as possible. Under the best interpretation I can muster, there is nothing here. I otherwise like such methods! But so many news outlets have run with it. People with the right credentials sometimes believe their own just-so stories. Human.

Oh my wow. I hope the authors take it down. I mean, it's a preprint, and they got a lot of good feedback. People get misled and go down such tunnels, and walking stuff back would be laudable. Though the damage is already extensive.https://twitter.com/WillMaStat/status/1270850256121540608 …
