London Times today (paywall) had a deep piece today on the Wuhan lab leak. Very damning. 

I don't know that for certain.  This lab buys bats from somebody, and that somebody may have been infected, and then gone to the market.

I don't know that for certain.  This lab buys bats from somebody, and that somebody may have been infected, and then gone to the market.

I've suggested that the lab gets bats from somewhere else, using "bat catchers" I surmise.  Those bat catchers could have been infected by catching said bats andt hen wondered over to the market later.  It's a possible scenario.  And would explain why the CCP has been so tight about information on this.

It would be the fault of the Wuhan lab, but not due to a release.  The other unresolved issue remains whether this virus is entirely zoonotic or not.

I don't know that for a fact.  The bats apparently come from some distance away, and perhaps nobody has had an incentive to go back and search for more bats, or they don't want the information known.

But imagine the CCP knows what happened as I describe, they would want to cover it up, and returning to the caves to find more bats would not be in their interest either.

What the researchers know so far is that a coronavirus very similar to some found in horseshoe bats made the jump into humans, appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan by December 2019, and from there ignited the biggest health calamity of the 21st century.

We also know they haven’t found the critical detail: if it was in fact a virus with an origin in horseshoe bats, how did it make its way into humans from creatures living hundreds of miles away in remote caves?
