It seems fairly certain now that the virus was created as part of research into GainOf Function viral research. This has been funded by Faucci's organisations in the US. The Wuhan laboratory has fairly lax security, so it may well have been an accidental escape. All of the animal products in the Wuhan wet market have been tested, and none shows any trace of the virus. In addition, they have tried to infect bats with the virus, and it seems it is not viable in their bodies.
