While I frown on the practices at those wet markets, they’ve
been around for a long long time, and haven’t been a problem
before.
Anything is possible, but I am about 99.999% certain this
came from their lab. You know, the one we sere funding in
part.
It is incredibly shocking how stupid we have been.

Not true. Epidemiologists have been tracing diseases to them for 70 years. There are scientific papers all over the internet that date from the 50s 60s 70s. Also, read the full article I posted.
Interesting how so many Freepers want to defend these disgusting Chinese wet markets
Infectious Diseases Emerging From Chinese Wet-Markets: Zoonotic Origins of Severe Respiratory Viral Infections
Patrick Cy Woo et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis. 2006 Oct.
Abstract
Purpose of review: In China, close contacts between humans and food animals have resulted in the transmission of many microbes from animals to humans. The two most notable infectious diseases in recent years are severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza. In this review, these two severe zoonotic viral infections transmitted by the respiratory route, with pandemic potential, are used as models to illustrate the role of Chinese wet-markets in their emergence, amplification and dissemination.
