Scientifically speaking, what is the most probable estimate of how this emerged? From the news (and I know it's hyper sensationalized, so YMMV) it feels like this virus attacks the body in bizarre ways we have never seen from the coronavirus family before.
Were those earlier theories that it was made / escaped from a lab thoroughly debunked, or has there been more evidence since then? I know that WIV released a genome very close to SARS-CoV-2 (RatG-13) that supposedly came from the SARS-CoV-1 bat cave, is it highly likely that cave was the origin for SARS-CoV-2 as well?
