Would have been nice if they'd stopped conducting research on it before 2019. Close the barn door after the horse has bolted much?
You're getting downloaded to hell, but it seems like odds were far from zero that it escaped out of the lab where they were doing viral testing where the virus seemed to originate.
The virus originated in Wuhan. It was initially called the Wuhan virus but China bribed/coerced the corrupt WHO to rename it. The virus originiated from China's wild game meat market. They eat everything under the sun including (not kidding) rocks and literal shit. This practice is an embarrasment to the CCP. So, they seek to save face at all cost, even when millions will die.
At least two different organisation's from the US couldn't determine with any certainty if it came from one of the wet market in Wuhan (one of the many, many wet markets in china) or the virology lab in Wuhan where they were playing around with the virus. Considering the origin of the infected people it seems pretty certain that it was from either of those, and if that's the case, the wet market doing it would look much less bad for China.
