4. What's interesting is this potentially locates the spread from both the wet market AND the lab.

If the lab brought the virus in for study, then both locales may have contributed to the spread of the virus. Even transporting the infected samples to the lab may have given the virus plenty of opportunities to move to new hosts

These debates between wet market vs lab origin might be the equivalent of an eclipse debate being between those who say "the moon moved in front of the sun" and those who say "the sun moved behind the moon."
