So the evidence is
> Job postings at the Wuhan facility for scientists to study coronaviruses and bats.
That's what labs studying viruses do.
> An announcement that new viruses had been discovered.
That's what labs studying viruses do.
> When she learned of the outbreak, a Chinese virologist known as "Bat Woman" (because of her hunt for viruses in bat caves) wondered if the virus came from her lab.
It's normal to wonder about these things but that doesn't make it evidence.
> The virology institute denied the existence of the person rumored to be "patient zero", a grad student. Information about her has been removed from the institute's website, and her whereabouts are unknown. The institute now claims she is in good health.
The institute also claimed the student left in 2015 so removing the photo and biography would make sense if that is true.
Edit: the researcher's publications suggest that they did indeed stop working in 2015 https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/2035568207_Yanling_Huang https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/203556...
