I have been doing some in depth research on how this present coronavirus could have been engineered! The research going on at Wuhan, and the U.S., actually created a 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018... The question is, was that research to find an anti-virus or was it biowarfare?. IMHO it is a strong possibility that it was intended for hostile purposes by someone, as I have posted here on this thread from time to time.
There is no capability of the bat coronavirus crossing over to infect humans without considerable mutations. Most of the subsequent mutations have at least been duplicated in the lab -- seeking possible defenses against the infective pathogen.
Also, there are repeated instances of cultured viruses - and other pathogens - escaping the environs of level 4 bio labs. One incurable strain was accidentally discarded from a Galveston level 4 lab in 2018.
I have no doubt that it was engineered through gain of function processes. NIH continued to fund it with China even after it was supposed to have been stopped.
That’s just how the government rolls.
