Very interesting. Not conclusive but without a more co-operative Govt to allow closer inspection I don't think we'll ever know.

I think we can be fairly certain that this was an animal to human virus. How that happened...

If we stopped eating animals it wouldn't have happened.

the article suggests one possible (probable?) origin of the virus is bat droppings which were being cleared out of a mine in china, not from animals being eaten.
samples were being stored at the wuhan lab.

I heard that discussed as a possibility back in the summer/autumn - Spectator podcast so can't easily nail the source.
