That's a retelling

94 percent match is still a long way from identical. They said it would take 20 to 60 years to mutate to the present strain from the horseshoe bat strain. I think more people in the lab would've been infected if it was an accident in the lab. 25 technicians were infected in Reston Ebola.

Wet markets were already discounted as the source. They're now looking at the virus jumping to the raccoon dog or other host before it went to humans. That could've occurred in the wild or in the lab.

So it was likely created in a lab in Wuhan and somehow got out. I thought -- 133743Hokie 05/30/2020 10:25AM

I suspect they didn't engineer it but they were working with coronairuses -- HortHokie 05/30/2020 12:44PM

Not remotely the consensus. I’ve seen some people say they couldn’t rule it -- AbsolutVT03 05/30/2020 12:17PM

A lot of the evidence at least points in that direction. -- GreenvilleVT 05/30/2020 10:37AM
