RE: Can you explain...

I think the implied point was that if the timeline shifts, then the origin must be re-evaluated.

If the starting point on the timeline is pushed back in time, then the origin story must be revised as well which, in turn, provides opportunities for conspiracy theories (like the one I made up and posted above). In this age of misinformation, I think we need to get ready for many outlandish claims.

Look up any pandemic and you'll find conflicting expert opinions on origin and especially "patient zero". Origin and patient zero are important early on for not only understanding the virus, but also stopping the spread stone cold. Once the spread starts, however, origin and "patient zero" become secondary to slowing the spread and treating patients. It may be next year or the year after before researchers are able to release their findings on origin and patient zero, maybe longer if the timeline shifts.
