It is looking like the reality is we will never know where this virus came from. There is not enough information about it and I dont see that changing since a lot of the information is gone now. It does seem like most scientists who have had a small chance to study it think its most likely from an animal and that is definitely possible. But there is a chance is accidently leaked from a lab researching this. I think the important part of the lab is its purpose that has been pretty transparent, they were trying to prevent future outbreaks, especially after SARS. It does seem it was not up to quality standards and its a real possibility. There is no record of the virus we have know being discovered in this lab from detailed records, but I would not put it past China to cover that somehow.
But the reality is it doesn't really change anything about the situation. The only thing it could change is preventing other ones.
