Virus experts studying the novel coronavirus agree that its characteristics indicate it isn't a human-engineered bioweapon. But could it have accidentally escaped from one of the two Wuhan labs studying bat coronaviruses? Some say that is indeed possible. thebulletin.org/2020/03/expert…
These two labs are the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Wuhan Institute of Virology, which state-run China Daily, in a 2018 tweet, called "Asia's largest virus bank," with 15,000 different viruses. (China Daily deleted that tweet after I cited it on March 23.)
The piece in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists refers to a South China University of Technology study that appeared in ResearchGate before being removed. The study concludes that "the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan." img-prod.tgcom24.mediaset.it/images/2020/02…
