I've seen this reported and passed around as though it's news - wasn't it clear that it's not manmade?
The most important theory (outside zoonosis from the wet market, which has evidence against it) seems to be whether it was an accidental lab release. Judging by Chinese actions, this seems like a plausible explanation. They reacted very strongly around the labs during the outbreak, suggesting there could have been issues there.
Considering there were state dept. cables about the safety of the lab, it's not a crazy idea at all.

- perl4ever 7y agoIf the conspiracy theories are orchestrated, then the obvious meta-conspiracy-theory would be that the source of the conspiracy theories released the virus in the market, while it was found or developed elsewhere. And I don't mean the CIA. Someone who doesn't like China, or the US, and is good at propaganda and public opinion manipulation.
