I wish this was better explained to the public like myself.

Every now and then someone comes along and says: "there's no evidence the virus was engineered in a lab". But what would the evidence look like?

For example, is it possible to replicate a zoonotic crossover in a lab so that both hypothesis (zoonotic and lab leak) are equally probable?

> The simplest scenario is that this viral pandemic is like every other one in known history - including the last coronavirus pandemic - a zoonotic crossover.

Do you however give a positive probability to a lab leak? In what range does the probability lie according to most biologist? Is it more 20%, 2% or 0.2% that the lab leak is the correct hypothesis?

I'd suggest that a wet market is a lab for replicating a zoonotic transfer.

Put a lot of immune compromised animals together with humans, and nature will find a way
