O-51 - Of 14 samples dominated by raccoon-dog mtDNA only one contained any SARS-CoV-2 read (1 of ~2.1x10^8); all six bamboo-rat-dominated samples had zero
The samples richest in raccoon-dog genetic material are almost all SARS-CoV-2-negative, the opposite of what a simple raccoon-dog-shed-the-virus picture would predict. This is the pointed count underlying Bloom’s skeptical reading, on the same D-1 market data.

Why this is evidence
Raccoon-dog-rich samples being almost all virus-negative is against the raccoon-dog-shed-the-virus reading (H-14) and consistent with the virus arriving via people or goods (H-15).
