I’m no scientist or expert, but the origin seems to be horseshoe bats, and after cross-species mutations (perhaps pangolin, and/or others before the jump to humans), one would assume the COVID virus has adapted itself beyond the bat (and whatever receptors the bat has that makes it vulnerable to other coronaviruses). In other words, COVID may have had to “give up” it’s infectiousness with bats to “gain” infectiousness with other species.

Was it a seafood market that doesn’t sell bats, or the lab down the road that has the actual bat coronavirus, works with that virus to try and prevent a pandemic and was called out 2 years prior for not having sufficient controls in place? Also, why Wuhan? This can’t be the only market getting supplies from Southern China (which is where this bat originates). There just seems to be a lot of circumstantial clues that point to the lab.

Does Nipah virus not ring a bell? MERS? Marburg virus? Hendra virus?
