This sounds like some Chinese propaganda.
In other words it doesn't fit the story you want to believe.

Humans in the lab work with the bats that carry the virus.
Infected bat infects lab worker...lab worker goes home to infect the rest of the planet.
Is this too hard to grasp?

We've mapped out the entire human genome and people are having a hard time believing we can't map out and sequence a virus.
This is why we can't have nice things. People have lost faith in science and want to believe pseudoscience pushed by partisan political BS.

Scientific American is reporting that genetic sequencing shows how the Corona virus started and subsequently spread across the world , the sequencing shows the virus was transmitted from an animal to a Human and then spread through the population.
The world struggled to understand how COVID-19 spread during the pandemic’s first four months, but genetic sequences of the coronavirus reported by laboratories tell the real story—when the virus arrived in each place and where it came from.
The sequences, which advance from left to right in the graphic, show that the virus jumped from an animal to humans in China, humans transmitted it to one another within China, then people traveling from there spread it globally person to person. The virus had not mutated significantly as of March 31, 2020; human contact created the pandemic, not a wildly evolving pathogen.

The problem is people can't do basic research and find out that nature already did the work for the lab, it doesn't matter, if it 'escaped' from the lab, what matters if it was intentional, or was it a bioweapon.
It wasn't a bioweapon, and we don't know if it was intentional. See what I am getting at? And all this over hyper-sensationalism isn't going to make the virus go away or make things better. If people keep pushing this is a bioweapon it will only make things worse.
Which is hilarious since people who are calling for nukes on China are also saying at the same time this is a nothing virus and it's a power grab by the elites. The holes in the conspiracy theories are so wide they don't even loop back again.

Why would someone make a bioweapon that has such low mortality? I mean five out of every hundred? Does that sound like an effective weapon?
