New evidence points to Wuhan market as source of COVID-19 outbreak.
From New Scientist: “A new study by an international team concludes it is more likely that the virus emerged from wild animals sold at the market and not from a lab escape. The researchers re-analysed data from 800 samples collected at the Huanan market by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention beginning on 1 January 2020, and also studied viral genomes from the earliest COVID-19 cases.”

Questions, the animals were eaten for the infection to humans to occur?
Could the infection have come from the conditions the animals were kept in?
If the animals were infected in the wild, if humans did not eat or capture them would there have been a jump?
Thanks
