Whether it escaped from a bat in a wet market or a testube in a lab makes no difference.
There are billions of non-human corona virus 99.999% which are harmless, you wouldn't know if it's dangerous until someone's infected. You're not going to know a corona virus is infectious by looking at it through a microscope.
This whole story is so ridiculous.

No Chinese 5G means no PPE...
Not sure if my tinfoil hat needs a refresh but all that PPE the UK apparently sent to China in the early stage of the pandemic was China buying it back at normal cost to then resell to rest of world at immense profit as demand surged. It may be bollox but things like this is what Trump and anyone trying to wrestle power back to the west will use as ammo. Rather that than real bullets.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I think the possibility that it came out of the Wuhan lab (mostly likely accidentally but who knows) has to be strongly considered.
