I am not sure we are certain yet as to when this virus originated.

I think if we are too fixated on one idea, we may miss the real cause. It is nice to be able to point a finger, but I prefer to make sure we are pointing in the right direction.
The fishmonger story only shows the virus was circulating in France 1 month before authorities previously thought. He didn't have to travel or come into direct contact with someone from China or Italy. We know that 100s of thousands of Chinese traveled all over the world before they locked down. It's 100% sure that he had contact with a human carrier, possibly asymptomatic, and that human carrier had contact with another carrier etc etc. The original carriers all came from Wuhan China, it's been genetically traced.
