This paper's argues that due to half of the early reported cases being linked to the market and the presence animal DNA showing animals were at the market that this is strong evidence. But this is just circumstantial evidence, there is no evidence that these animals were infected, and still to this day the two closest viruses found in the wild were found thousands of kilometers away and are very distantly related with the last common ancestor being decades ago.
Hopefully one of the last few nails in the coffin for the tiresome lab leak hypothesis.
Reminds me of those kids who forget their lunch in their backpacks when the summer holiday starts and find it again 6 weeks later.
This is off topic, but: are your summer holidays really only 6 weeks long? Which country is that? (In Russia, where I went to school, it's almost always three whole months.)
