@MichaelWorobey said community patient was not 1st Covid case since Dec 8 problem was dental and no Covid fever till Dec 16. But new report says Covid symptoms did start Dec 8, making earliest known case unlinked to market. @zeynephttps://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3159347/chinese-scientist-hits-back-wuhan-market-coronavirus-origin …
Thank you. The "Drastic" researchers had said this last April/May, and I also appreciate Dr. Worobey's work, and apparently Drastic folks have even more info on this case today? However, I am not sure this would matter as much either way, except to highlight how little we know.

Problem is the confusion over early cases: the first *known* case China will tell us (Chen) and first *actual* case are not the same thing. I identified many contradictions between papers from China, WHO report and news reporting just by making a table in a few hours. No clarity.

My current conclusion is that, despite a lot of really valuable work and sleuthing by many parties (and I do think it is valuable!), we still lack clarity. There is really credible reporting China knows of November cases, for example. What we need is actual transparency by them.
