I'm bordering on conspiracy theory territory here, but I'd also like an real investigation into whether the virus actually originated from the Wuhan Biosafety Laboratory. It's the only level 4 (BSL-4 highest rating) lab in all of China designated to handle the most dangerous pathogens. And it's located 20 miles from the reported epicenter in the wildlife market. It was first opened two years ago and at the time multiple scientists worried that the lack of an open culture could lead to potential security problems.
Was there some breach in containment security? Were experimented animals not disposed of properly? We don't know.
There might be nothing here, but it's a hell of a coincidence and if there's some broader security problem, it should be acknowledged and fixed.
