Instead of replying in spirit the same message to various comments here, I generalized the skepticism in one. To people commenting that "experts had repeatedly suggested that it is unlikely to be a leak." Experts, that is people studying in biochemistry/biology/virology labs were and will always be saying that it is likely. Working in such a lab without accidents would be a historical miracle. That is one of the reasons working actively with and producing bioweapons was "ditched" effectively by a lot of countries including the U.S. (Or at least I hope.) I suggest starting with the wikipedia rabbithole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_warfare Let us be clear: Political announcers were saying it is unlikely for diplomatic/cover-our/their-asses reasons. Recall/research the USSR/Russian anthrax in Yekaterinburg of 1979. To this day it is a closed off area. No person that has worked in a lab would say "unlikely..." And to top it off in a summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity_incidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laboratory_biosecurity... Check the 2004-04 event. P.S. Literally, we had a known leak in Taiwan in 2021 while they were trying to study the SARS-COV-2 virus.
