As far as I am aware it is incredibly unlikely to have been engineered. The virus is very similar to those in animals already, and there are no tell tale signs of CRISPR being used (off site effects where unintentional areas are also targeted). While it is possible it could have been perfectly engineered from a very similar virus in a way to avoid leaving signs of engineering (which I think is pretty unlikely), there is no motivation. If you wanted to do this, surely you would immunise your own people against it first to reduce local damage? And for saying the USA planted it in China.... it’s just stupid. I mean, the USA is managing this terribly. If they had planned it surely they would have stockpiled enough masks or medication to make this work.
