Original Note:
Early cases were undersampled, and reported December cases have a strong ascertainment bias to the Huanan seafood market https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37074224/ It is well reported that doctors were officially ordered not to report early COVID-19 cases https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/22/wuhan-doctors-pandemic-china-coverup/ see also critique of poor modelling by Pekar et al. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.10.511625v1
