No, I don't think it is remotely likely they did it on purpose. But if it were proved absolutely they did, then I don't think retaliation would be off the table, which is what I responded to. The virus was most likely either natural or an accidental lab leak (I lean slightly towards latter). If anyone released it on purpose, which is unlikely, China's government would not even be my first bet...I am simply saying that if it were found a government entity anywhere did release a massively transmissible bioweapon on purpose, then I think a grave response would be warranted despite possible huge risks.
