New analysis suggests China withheld early COVID-19 infection data from Wuhan market
By

Summary
The article investigates a new analysis suggesting that China has not disclosed the full extent of early COVID-19 infections in animals and people at the Wuhan market. It revisits a previously dismissed WeChat post from September 2021 that theorized SARS-CoV-2 arrived in China on frozen lobsters from Maine sold at the Wuhan market. While the post was initially considered a bizarre conspiracy theory and part of a Chinese effort to shift blame, new evidence and analysis of Wuhan market maps indicate that China may have withheld information about some of the earliest animal and human infections, lending renewed scrutiny to alternative origin theories.
