"They had retrospectively tested serum from their staff. They tested samples from early 2019 and from 2020."
So no samples from between early 2019 and, I'm guessing, August 2020, which iirc is when they tested everyone? @BillyBostickson

Q: "But will someone else investigate?"
A: "Remember that the report is the outcome of a joint team of Chinese experts and international experts. If others want to pursue that hypothesis, it's there, it's being discussed openly and accepted."

"We also state in the report that all these hypothesis assessments will be reviewed on a regular basis. We may pick that one up again if new evidence comes up to make it more likely."

"Some traders at the Huanan market were trading in farmed wild animals-badgers, bamboo rats, rabbits, crocodiles and many others."

"the others were either unavailable, could not be traced, or had died. All 67 turned out negative."

"But it all points toward an introduction in the human population in that area in the period October to early December 2019—most probably late November, not so long before the earliest cases were found. But the route of introduction remains a mystery
