Which people in this thread are somehow believing as truth instead of the bald-faced propaganda it is.
Do you actually think a virus research lab in the epicentre of an outbreak would not be put to use?
From Wikipedia:
> As the virus spread worldwide, the institute continued its investigation. In February 2020, a team led by Shi Zhengli at the institute were the first to identify, analyze and name the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), upload it to public databases for scientists around the world to understand,[28][29][30] and publish papers in Nature.[31] On 19 February 2020, the lab released a letter on its website describing how they successfully obtained the whole virus genome.[32]
That and the fact that the Chinese dicatorship blocking any inquiry into the matter are enough to put the blame on that lab until proven otherwise.
Your previous comment is clearly incorrect as shown by the parent, something is a lot more than nothing.
