Still doesn't explain how a Pangolin coronavirus RBD ended up on a backbone of a strain of bat coronavirus from a mine in Guangdong along with a conveniently placed Furin cleavage site unprecedented in any known naturally circulating strains of coronavirus. Unless they're trying to argue containment is so bad that viruses they know they've sequenced regularly end up circulating in the wet markets, and they figure said viruses were comingled there, which is still one heck of a stretch.
That's just me though.
