But the distance inside China is the equivilant of a known bat virus in a remote location somewhere in Budapest, where only farmers live, and ground zero of the virus beeing downtown London streetfood market.. (were all the food and everything tested negativ..)

You don't think bats exchange viruses between Budapest and London? That's nothing. Viruses in interacting populations are routinely continent wide.

Let me flip this around: do you have even one example of a virus within a compatible species spectrum that does not expand across continent scales over the "few year" timeframe we're discussing?

I don't understand what your argument is. Can you please expand?
