I would hope the guilt associated with millions of deaths would compel someone to come forward but I’m not holding my breath.

  That's why I don't think it leaked from a lab, or, if it did, the lab in question is completely unaware of the leak. There is the possibility the virus leaked from a lab without the lab having any knowledge and while the lab was faithfully executing all safety protocols. What we do know is the disease made its first mass appearance in Wuhan and the Chinese government did their level best to cover it up. That doesn't necessarily point to a leak, but it does show the Chinese knew there was a novel disease that was quickly spreading and causing severe problems. It's apparent they tried to contain the disease and failed. It could still be the case the disease originated outside of Wuhan but took root there first. It may take years to figure out the origin of this disease.
