    It spread from there:

    And was still spreading 1 year later, in late 2018

    That said, it's still so far before the COVID timeline that it's hard to suspect this, is there any other reason to?

    Are you thinking that this virus may have escaped from the NIAID lab in Montana? Or that it arose naturally there, and was taken into the lab (to be engineered into something like COVID)

      My guess is that it was a different lab leak of a different virus. They happen all the time because they like playing with fire.

      This one. That lab isn't like a fort detrick as far as I can tell but if they found a particularly nasty virus I'd imagine the military would be interested

      My thought is basically find nasty virus, send it to detrick. Detrick let's it mutate for two years, and then you've got the coronavirus that doesn't look engineered
