I don't think it was created to purposely cause the pandemic but yes it was likely made in a lab.
I don't too much believe in coincidence not on this level. It just so happens that a virology lab that specifically studies corona viruses is in the same city that a pandemic started in, but the lab had nothing to do with it. I highly doubt that!
The initial story is that the virus intiated in the fresh food markets from an animal.
Now I don't have any research or proof to prove any of what I said but just from a logical perspective if you were in charge of investigating the incident isn't virology lab one of, if not the very first place you would go to and ask questions.
My suspicion is the virus was created and then someome in the lab accidentally allowed it to leak. Probably a low level lab technician or something. Once they discovered it instead of saying something they were scared of getting fired so kept it a secret. By the time it was discovered it had already began to spread. It isn't like that lab tech would be willing to admit that their mistake caused millions of deaths openly. Now it's not like the Chinese government would be willing to admit something like that.
Again, this is all just conjecture, but I doubt I'm too far off on my suspicions.
