All up not the worst outcome.

Best outcome would have been that it was already spreading globally (as suggested by wastewater analysis) and China just detected it first.

Next best would be that it was brought into the wet market, but by a person.

Slightly worse is if it jumped from animals at the market, as that vindicates the racists. <— we are here

Worse than that is accidental lab leak of natural virus.

Worse still is accidental lab leak of manufactured virus.

Worst of all is intentional release of manufactured virus.

    Yeah DARPA is the worst and dominates entire fields of engineering. They're always looking for an applied military angle and many people delude themselves into thinking their research could never help the military, but even with the MIC run by bumblefucks they know what they want to get out of these relationships.

    And yeah they're notorious for having multiple on-site visits per year + several intermediate reports. Just to check in, eh?
