The existing evidence suggests that tracing the outbreak of a previously unknown virus to its natural source would, on average, take significantly longer than 3 months. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-018-0296-2 HIV, for example, took 20 years to trace back to it's natural origins. https://theconversation.com/how-virus-detectives-trace-the-origins-of-an-outbreak-and-why-its-so-tricky-161387

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1648431960166105089

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
