The odds of this naturally occurring in China are probably close to 1 in 4. And the odds of it happening in Wuhan are probably close to 3%.

The odds of the Chinese government making a super virus based on Coronavirus seem smaller than that, and the odds of it escaping the laboratory might be decent, but when you combine them, it's pretty slim.

If this were some super strain of Smallpox, that would make a more convincing conspiracy.

The odds of there being some plausible conspiracy by now are high.
