There is sufficient ambiguity in how quickly corona spread in the early days for this defense to be handwaved away by the media. As for my personal opinion, the early testing obviously did not catch everyone infected, so its entirely possible for the disease to have been spreading silently throughout Dec.
Your theory is still hogwash in light of what's known and understood of how covid-19 spreads and how it attacks it's victims. I mean, what's the angle here dude? Are you actually thinking or in support of the theory that the virus was leaked accident or not from the Wuhan lab? Or am I misinterpreting your meaning here. Please elaborate.

In Jan, the US is already trying to demonize China with the lab theory. Not sure about your logic. The lab conspiracy theory has been on going from the very beginning of pandemics. If they have proof, then the CIA and the State Department would have already released them. What we have here is now hearsay. Similar to the theory that since ten of millions of phones in China discontinued their service during the pandemic in China which the Western media spin it as a sign that ten of millions of Chinese have dead from covid.
And the 1 million, no 2 million, no wait 3, 6, 9 million dead Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Seriously? Why is that even some folks here who should be a little educated enough about China - not saying she's all cottons and candies - still succumbs to these kind of nonsensical allegations without proof which is borderline nutcase conspiracy theory territory. The U.S. intelligence isn't omnipotent or omniscient they f..k up plenty of times all throughout their existence but they are good at is peddling propaganda pieces that can twist, obfuscate the truth.

So let me get this straight:

What actually happened:
WIV got hold of a batch of sample, 1001 to be exact collected between January 2019 to January 2020 (700 of them where from Jan 2020), In March 2020 they went back to test for COVID-19 in those samples (because hey why not, they're equipped for just this kind of research) and found 4 COVID-19 positive cases, 3 adult and 1 elderly among the 2020 January samples.

What WSJ said happened:
ZOMG WIV had 3 staff infected in November 2019!

I don't think it's because they weren't good at Chinese.
