Like the community cases in CA. They won't say exactly where they
live, where they work, the school, etc. If they put that out there,
it could help identify the path. If you knew
who the new patient is, where they worked, went, etc and if you had
contact, you're having symptoms, you could report it and help identify
the path of transmission. Otherwise you'd think you probably just have
a cold and do little to contain it. But I suspect in another couple
weeks we'll be beyond that because of the spread.

I would also point out that no one has said this disease came from
fish. At least I haven't heard anyone talk about fish. They've
mentioned bats and pigs, both mammals.
Any mention of the source being the Wuhan Youfu Hospital, which is
approximately 150ft away from the fish market?

What does that mean for the hospital to be the source of the contagion?
Are you suggesting they handle live animals in the hospital?
Thank you for not asking "exactly what does that mean...".
No thanks for again misinterpreting what I wrote and what should have
been obvious.
Nothing obvious about what you meant. If you don't wish to reply, then don't. No need to be rude about it. Be clear about what you mean and you won't be misunderstood.
My contention is that if a patient, with an
unidentified nasty virus infection, were admitted to the nearby
hospital, and said hospital had problems disposing, handling, or
securing their pathogen contaminated waste, some of that waste might
have made its way into the fish market.
Even if the path of infection was through the hospital, there still had to be an actual source of the infection which would have been seen through other patients. It's rather improbable that exactly one person would come down with this new zoonotic disease and then the infection would travel through the hospital to market without infecting anyone else along the way. I'd say the probability approaches zero.
