I don't know why (1) is unlikely. We know that a lot of people have weak symptoms. We know that symptoms are similar to other diseases. If it were to start in a remote area you probably wouldn't notice it until it entered a big city.

Would only take one person from a small village where the virus was otherwise burning itself out to travel to a big city.

I think the Chinese's response was very good considering they had no warning. And western countries did far worse when they had 4-6 weeks of warning.

When western countries had 4-6 weeks of warning they were running “hug a Chinese” campaigns instead of being advised to keep social distance with everyone.
