The closest viral relative found so far was in Laotian bats. But it's not an exact match and doesn't settle the issue one way or another.

Well, we know the virus existed in the lab in Wuhan. If we don't have any evidence of it existing elsewhere, maybe the simplest explanation is the correct one.

The bigger issue people have is that discussion has been so heavily censored in areas like the US where censorship is not the norm, or at least not desired. This throws fuel on the fire of censorship debate.
