> The outbreak looks like a wet market spillover.

Zoonotic spillover is not a spontaneous 0->100 event, there should be a trail of intermediate hosts and adjacent infections that there is zero evidence of.

> If a lab leak happened, we would expect it to hit the people closest

thats not representative of sarscov2. People in the same household could fail to spread infection.

> Hitting only the wet market isn't very likely.

It didnt. There were early cases outside of the wet market.

> unusual coincidence

A novel coronavirus appearing outside a coronavirus gain-of-function research lab is not a coincidence. Id sooner believe it was a sleight of hand to cover for a terrorist attack.
