Snopes and the science page on reddit are not confidence-inspiring sources, to be honest. We need an authoritative investigation (led by WHO/CDC) into the origins of the virus to be able to make knowledgable statements. Until that happens, there is only hearsay and speculation.

- perryizgr8 5y agoSad truth is that CDC/WHO are one of the most competent authorities on the matter, and they have experienced experts in the relevant fields. Only when politics comes into play, that the organisations' actions and intentions are called into question. The ideal thing would be to somehow remove international political considerations from the equation and then ask WHO to conduct an investigation. Of course, the chances of that happening are probably lower than an actually lethal virus leaking from a lab.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt's not a science page on Reddit, the source is a published virologist who himself cites dozens and dozens of sources. I find it odd that people are commenting about how this doesn't inspire confidence, but "rootclaim" as well as an editorialised headline from the telegraph is.
