Lets see. This was written by ABC, who has been an apologist for China.
ABC News said it, I believe it, and that settles it!
Seriously, if ABC news reported that water was wet I would have to go take a bath before I would believe them. We might not ever know for sure what happened here, but I give no credence to condescending B.S. from this Chinese propaganda outlet.
My theory is that the bio-lab in Wuhan was experimenting with SARs type viruses on bats and one of their workers swiped a few animals to sell at the wet-market for extra cash.
