    I like that theory too, but it is still possible that it is just a coincidence and that some American(maybe even some gov agent) caught the virus abroad and then traveled to the US in early 2019.

    It doesn't explain how the virus got to China other than some unlucky person caught it near some foreigner in a T1 city and then traveled to Wuhan after.

    It is practically almost undeniable that the virus existed for quite some time before before December 2019 already.

      There was an international armed forces athletic competition in Wuhan in November of 2019, there's a link in this thread from an armed forces news site detailing all the US armed forces folks who competed there.
