forThis argument, if it holds, bears in favour of the claim.constitution →The first reported COVID-19 patient's actual symptom onset was December 16, 2019, not December 1, 2019
The argument
Because linked claim, and because Worobey's reanalysis identifies this accountant as the individual behind the earlier-reported first-case date, the first reported patient's actual symptom onset falls on December 16 rather than the earlier figure the claim disputes.
Does it work?
Not yet evaluated.
