Go talk to the scientist in the article since you are a more expert on the subject than he is.IF the OP is correct that the virus started back in September...……..then that same virus would have been spread farther & faster than just since January and by now half the world population would be dead...…...if all the current virus numbers were to be believed.

I'm not an expert, and never said I was. But it would stand to reason don't you think? If the virus was 'out there' for 3 months longer there would be travelers catching it and/or bringing it back to their home country. Thereby infecting hundreds, thousands, millions earlier...…..many of which would be seeking medical treatment and the Dr's or hospitals would run standard tests and realize this was not something they've seen before and any normal treatment was ineffective, and even more people would have died than is now.
I'm just saying if the virus had been out there 3 months earlier, then everything following would have been bumped up 3 months and the amount of deaths would be even higher. That's just logical thinking and I'm surprised this expert or anyone in his field didn't consider that probability. And because they didn't only proves to me the whole story and the media hype is just that. BS
Your theorem presumes the virus was always in its same form. What if it mutated late in the year?
