It still doesn't discount the lab leak theory. Scientists in Wuhan were studying coronaviruses in that lab. Suddenly, there was an outbreak of a coronavirus in Wuhan. Coincidence?
It's all circumstantial, I am 50/50 on it. There is also the possibility it is somewhere in the middle. They could have transported bats to the lab and someone could have made a mistake and got infected on the way. So there you have the natural virus and a leak from the lab all in one go. TBH that's where I sit, its a naturally occurring virus, and somebody fucked up.
From what I've looked at too the true origin of many pandemics is rarely found. Ebola they have no idea where that came from and the Spanish flu they have down as US, Europe or China as the origin. The first recorded cases were in Kansas but they have data that both supports and contradicts a North American origin.
I think stuff can get further than we think especially given how connected the world is. This is anecdotal but I watch 90 Day Fiance with the misses, a woman on the show was in the ICU with COVID in December 2019. The US Gov didnt even think it reached their shores until February.
It's not unreasonable to think that someone caught it in Yunnan, maybe it jumped to a couple of others, and then someone flew to Wuhan. I don't think thats unreasonable because at the lab I am sure there are a bunch of protocols in place. With either theory, a few hoops still have to be jumped.
I don't think we'll ever know, China is covering something up, whether it is the lab or hiding more humanitarian crimes. Who knows.
