    And it could have been sprayed by flying saucers. How is that any less probable?

    Because only a trail of infected animals arriving at the market would imply a zoonotic origin.

    positive cultures in the wet market are major pieces of evidence to back up the origin.

    The data does not help determine the origin. It only documents the spread.
