question
Was the Huanan market the initial epicenter from which the Wuhan outbreak spread?
statement
The Huanan Seafood Market was the initial focus of the outbreak (early spillover/amplification site), and human-to-human transmission subsequently carried the virus beyond the market, producing the falling market-linkage fraction over time.

Discussion

The interpretation the line-list is most often read to support; it is contested because the same declining-fraction pattern is also produced by ascertainment that preferentially sought market links early on.
