Five years after the whole world suffered the effects of Covid-19, there are still debates over its origins.
Increasingly it appears this was an accidental lab-leak in China. People do not want to say this in case it offends China. In truth, we can never be sure.
UPDATE 2110z: This really does look like an accident. They may have been working on a bio weapon, but the virus that escaped (if indeed it did) was not the strongest that could have been created.

"Accidental" lol
There have been accidental leaks from labs in the past https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity_incidents
I certainly remember the leak of smallpox from a lab in Birmingham UK in 1978 before smallpox was eradicated as a illness. (The virus most remain in labs around the world still).
Many thanks for that link. I had no idea there had been so many leaks! You cannot be too careful.
