Before there was Covid, there were biolabs, and sometimes diseases escaped from the lab. Even with the best safety in the world, lab leaks are scarily common. The 1977 Russian flu epidemic provably started with a lab leak.
Covid-19, or SARS-2, is closely related to the original SARS virus which was definitely a natural cross-over from wild animals. But following that natural event, SARS then subsequently escaped from labs studying it no fewer than three times, including once from a high-security biolab in Singapore.
