I'm going to ignore the laptop thing because I don't see how it is important and it is outside my area of expertise. However, the second point falls very very close to my area of expertise (biochem), so I'll humour you. > (a) it is very curious that a global pandemic originated in the same location as a biosafety level 4 lab The above statement actually contains no information: it is a bad faith / rhetorical statement. There are high security labs all around the world, particularly where there are people... so the odds that any event happens fairly close to one are fairly high. > (b) it was impossible that the virus originated from a lab and in fact it is xenophobic and racist to imply the virus originated in a lab This here conflates different issues in a disingenuous way. My expert opinion is that it is more likely to have emerged outside of a lab, but yes, it is also possible that the virus originated in a lab. The second part of your sentence is hysterically incorrect.
