I forgot (because I assume the original was a lab leak) that China's entire (believe it or not) story is that it was a bat leak instead.

So .. some government actions do not seem justified if you believe it came from animal reservoir.

We don't know, and probably never can know where it came from. If it was a lab leak they have covered their tracks enough that we cannot be sure. If it wasn't - then it is even harder to figure out where it came from.
