1. The Market Map
Once upon a time some questions were asked (35-40)
https://twitter.com/BillyBostickson/status/1279110406191976448
Emails were sent asking for details
Requests were made
BUT
George Gao refused to give specific details about the positive environmental samples from the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.

2. The Market Map - The 18 Original Questions
Here are the original 18 questions prepared by DRASTIC and Dr. Daniel Lucey about the environmental samples that tested positive at the Seafood Market.

3. None of those questions were ever answered, which infuriated DRASTIC and deeply disturbed the wise epidemiologist, Dr. Daniel Lucey:

4. The Map (via @TheSeeker268)
but now we have, after waiting 10 months, a little map that was hidden from us by the Chinese CDC, and strangely enough by the American CDC and the WHO.
Here is the story of a 10 month old map

5. The Leaked Floor Plan Map of the Wuhan Huanan Seafood Market in all its pristine glory
6. Question Time
Why was the map never made public by China CDC?
Who leaked it?
Why was it leaked now?
Why did SCMP publish it?
(remember they also published the November 17th early patient leak)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Morning_Post
What can the map tell us about early cases and the market?

7. Take some time to try to answer those questions while reading the article.
8. Another Question
Using a FOIA request in the US, the Post also obtained a separate blurred map of the market held by the WHO & the US CDC.
"there are areas where markings by investigators differ between the versions"
Note small print: Not for Further Distribution
Why Not?

Why Not?
9. A polite interpretation?
"While the Post’s freedom of information request showed the WHO & the US CDC had a floor plan of the market by late January, it was not clear if the Chinese CDC plan obtained by the Post with different markings was shared with those health bodies"

10. Official Responses
Basically fuck off and leave us alone while we work on damage control and finding the mole.

The WHO produced their report stating what they wanted to do (or be done) in Wuhan

12. Target: The Market
The market still figures prominently in the WHO’s investigation as a critical link in the outbreak that could yet yield clues.
This was emphasised 3 weeks ago by Embarek of the WHO.

13. Repeat after me, slowly & ironically, while raising your eyebrows repeatedly:
China has not disclosed if live animals were among those sampled.
China has not disclosed if live animals were among those sampled.

14. Now, Stand up wherever you are, go to the nearest window, and yell as loud as you can:
Why NOT?
and now you understand, my friend, and yes, illumination is yours!

16. Gao's statements
‘the novel coronavirus had existed long before’.
"We found the genome of the virus through detection of environmental samples from stalls of illegally operated wild animals"
Ian Lipkin said George Gao,was initially convinced that the culprit was a bamboo rat

17. Gao Knew?
Gao realised after analysis of the positive environmental samples where SARS-COV-2 had come from.
It would have been clear from the products sold on stalls in the western area of the market.
That information was never made public.
Since then silence & cover up.

19. Lab Animals!
This statement viewed in light of the subsequent refusal to share information makes little sense unless you have evidence from the market positive environmental samples that the novel virus was likely from lab experimental animals sold illegally at the market.

20. Saving China's Face?
That explains George Gao's bizarre reticence to give specific details of the environmental positive samples, the slaughter of bamboo rats, the disappearing act involving the live animals from the market and zero published samples of live animals

22. The Map reveals more than the lines drawn on it
"“A map does not just chart, it unlocks and formulates meaning; it forms bridges between here and there, between disparate ideas that we did not know were previously connected.”
