“China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17”
It’s a plausible date.
Many on this site knew it started sometime in late November.
You can back it out based on the R0.
Whether 17 Nov or 23 Nov, Patient 0 was in that time frame.
Something very nasty crawled out of the fetid sewers of Wuhan.
And NO, I do not believe this virus is a bioweapon. It is FAR to weak and indiscriminate. That alone nixes human origin. And I don’t care what people are reading and saying about HIV and other splices.
It’s bullshit.
It crawled out of the sewers of Wuhan.
Well, it was ‘new’.
I think they didn’t recognize what it was until mid-December.
After that they covered it up for another month, the ^#E$^&*s!
BTW There’s a unit in Wuhan (UN or US) that looks for flu viruses to inform the choice of what’s in the flu vaccine.
Haven’t heard anything about that...
Quiet, Panda-breath.
One of the researchers at Wuhan, was working on “addition of function” to bat coronaviruses, and publishing work on it,
back in 2015.
And the way the virus infects human cells...is NOT found in previous Coronaviruses;
it has to do with a cleavage site on the virus spike protein:
a human cell protein cuts the spike open, allowing the cells to merge.
But it is found in Ebola and AIDS.
How did it magically get there all on its own?

Oh, it was engineered alright. At UNC-Chapel Hill, with the assistance of a Chi-com.

Note the wording; “ ...we generated and characterized a chimeric virus.” She didn’t just study it, she generated it.
Next up, I’ll leave you to do the research about study of this virus in Canada by the same Chinese lady, and the fact that she had her badge pulled and was ejected from the country, with the Canadian police still in the active investigation mode.

Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
It’s entirely possible that it was made for research purposes. That’s my belief. Legitimate research btw. The bat researcher (has anyone seen or heard from him lately?) was doing research to figure out why bats carry all this scary stuff and don’t get sick.
Likely we’ll never know the real truth because the scientists there were killed.
