Covid-19: The birth of a disease

[Jim Eshelman]

November 18, 2019, time unknown, Wuhan, China

With the passage of time and further studies, the prevailing theory of the origins of Covid-19 have reached a point of virtual certainty. As CNN reported today,

New studies conclude that animals sold at a seafood market in Wuhan, China, are most likely what started the Covid-19 pandemic... In one of the new studies published Tuesday, researchers determined that the earliest Covid-19 cases were centered at the Wuhan market among vendors who sold live animals or people who shopped there. Another study said the first animal-to-human transmission probably happened around November 18, 2019, and that an early version of the virus was found only in people who had a direct connection to the Wuhan market.

I've never done a full mundane workup for the root-point of this virus. I don't know how well it will show since the major impact on the world came months later... but the birth of a disease that altered the course of the world for a few years is worth an examination, I think. (November 18 may still be an approximation, but it's gotten more precise than the "mid-November" of previous estimates and seems based on tracking of specific identified infections.) I'll use noon that day for a working time.

For the most part, these are remarkable charts!

We give priority to the Cansolar because it has the whole Bridge.)

I was curious whether Eris and Sedna made an appearance (suspecting Eris did since it's been connected to Pluto so long). I decided to rerun the charts with that in mind.

All through this time, luminaries aspected Eris, which I'll ignore if that's all I see; and Pluto was usually in aspect with Eris, but I'll skip that unless they were both foreground and noteworthy.

with those limitations, the answer is: No, they weren't players. The closest was the critical Canlunar where the foreground Moon-Pluto opposition because Moon-Pluto-Eris - but with Eris not foreground. (Moon-Eris was the closest live aspect, though.)
