By itself, maybe. When you add it to the GOF, China not cooperating with world investigations, China lying about death totals, doctors being locked up, so on and so forth…. Ya. It was made in the Wuhan lab.
Hard to parse with evidence at the time though, one example is PCR on thousands of seasonal flu-like sicknesses in the Pacific northwest that was part of public health monitoring to see what kind of viruses were going around - no SARS-COV-2.
China also hid evidence of how feral the wild animal trade was in Wuhan though, to the point the WHO was parroting 'there was no active wildlife trade in Wuhan'. It turns out the markets were so full of various viruses, swabs from walls in the markets were absolutely chockers at an unheard of level.
An increase in PCR equipment over time might seem mysterious and nefarious for the same reasons that the scientific interest in gain of function research in the area does, and that bill gates and Fauci both predicted 'the big one' i.e. pandemic recently - since all happened before a pandemic virus (not implying u)
I don't doubt you there easily could have been, there's all kinds of flu-like shit that can come in a wave. This is the data from that community monitoring data around Seattle I mentioned, the Rhinoviruses are mostly common cold but notice how different things are dominant in each of the two years and the seasonality changes.

What I'm saying though is if there was an early COVID ripping through OC, and lets say it hadn't mutated yet to be lethal which is why the hospitals weren't full of old people that early — if it was that contagious that everyone in the OC area was getting it, it still would have made it to the Seattle area and been detected
Yeah no argument here.
What you must consider is that China is a dictatorship that will never except foreign intervention in internal affairs.
Well, you can detect what you don't know, you just need to sequence the samples, and then you'd get similarity to known viruses from a database, and get 'SARS-like coronavirus - 70ish% identity' for this one.
Pretty sure the PCR tests extract and amplify DNA as well as diagnose presence of HPV, COVID, etc.The pattern of their increased purchases goes back to 2015, so they definitely need more than that. Although there's no doubt authorities in Hubei were aware of Covid and downplaying it, numerous doctors came forward on that. There were actually less purchases by the WIV and hospitals in 2019 than previous years, the massive increase was from universities, the CDC and animal testing bureau.
The first diagnosed case was Jan 2020 in CA. There is zero doubt it was here before then.
