Well it was released by a lab and didn’t occur in nature before then, so that answers your question.
RE: What relevance does the “Dept. of Energy” have about the covid-19 virus ?
I direct you to Post #16 of this thread.
Republicans erupt after Energy Dept reportedly says COVID-19 likely came from Chinese lab:
‘We need answers’
Lab leak theory was dismissed as ‘fringe,’ ‘conspiracy’ at start of pandemic!:
Doctors were ‘muscled,’ ‘bullied’ for speaking out against COVID: Makary:
Fox News contributor Dr. Marty Makary joins “Fox & Friends Weekend” to discuss the FDA’s ongoing efforts to ban “off-label” uses of medical devices.
Congressional Republicans erupted on Twitter Sunday afternoon after the U.S. Energy Department reportedly assessed that the COVID-19 pandemic likely originated from an accidental lab leak in China.
The Energy Department, which was previously undecided on the origin of the pandemic, now joins the FBI’s stance that the coronavirus likely spread due to a mishap at a Chinese laboratory, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress.
The lab leak theory, or the theory that the virus came from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, was widely dismissed as a conspiracy theory and “misinformation” by Democrats, major news outlets, scientists and social media companies in the early stages of the pandemic.
Now, Republicans are calling for accountability from the Chinese Communist Party as evidence mounts that it is to blame for the pandemic.
Thanks!

As Stated in the article: “The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research.”
Thanks!
Funny how this comes out as tensions escalate between US and China.
