Biological weapons are usually pretty stupid because you can't really control who catches the disease. Though maybe things are in control in Wuhan now because they have a cure they aren't releasing to everyone else... 
But I do find it the most plausible that it arose naturally.

I heard it was a bat (or bats) who possibly passed the virus to meat that was at an outdoor market in Wuhan.

Im going with US Military Bioweapon, released in China, to hide its origin and because China is an enemy of the US.

There is zero evidence to indicate that the virus was man-made, and there is substantial evidence that it came from animals.
At this point they think that the virus made the jump from animals to humans in mid-late November 2019.
We know the virus likely originated in bats, but there was probably an intermediate host between bats and humans. Pangolins are one possibility.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00548-w
Quote:
So far, the closest match to the human coronavirus has been found in a bat in China’s Yunnan province. A study5 published on 3 February found that the bat coronavirus shared 96% of its genetic material with the virus that causes COVID-19. Bats could have passed the virus to humans, but there are key differences between the RBD sites in the two viruses. This suggests that this specific bat coronavirus did not directly infect people, but could have been transmitted it to people through an intermediate host, say researchers.

No, all part of the devious plan to create Chaos and Disorder. I forgot to note its the secret US military, not the regular one.
Its mostly based on my Gematria research. For example, "Covid Nineteen" has Numerological matches to "Freemasonry", "English Alphabet" and "Hail to the King" (Corona means crown): https://www.gematrix.org/?word=covid+nineteen
Then "Covid Nineteen Coronavirus" matches with "Six Hundred and Sixty Six" (The Devils number. The Elites who instruct the secret Military are Satanic): https://www.gematrix.org/?word=covid+nineteen+coronavirus&save=+Add+It+
The phrase "Coronavirus Outbreak" has the best Gematria matches like "President Donald Trump", "I Will Crash the System", "Your Life was Scripted", "Quentin FBI Development", and "December Twenty Nineteen" (The virus was discovered in Decemeber 2019) among many other phrases: https://www.gematrix.org/?word=covid+nineteen

All of the conspiracy theories are distractions from the truth that the world needs to tell China to get its fucking act together with the meat markets.

Why isn't "American bioweapon" one of the choices? If China was making a bioweapon they wouldn't release it on themselves first, and Trump was trying to get exclusive rights to the cure, so nobody else could have it.

You're on the www, where plenty of capacity webstores have no problem whatsoever with empty storeshelves. The lentils are from a farmers collective. Cheaper than in the supermarket AND no postage cost for a 10kg quantity.
They sell right from the silo, 2019 harvest
Lentils are like 22% protein, half that of beef.

Evidence continues to mount against the bioweapon conspiracy theories.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9
Quote:
It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus. As noted above, the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 is optimized for binding to human ACE2 with an efficient solution different from those previously predicted7,11. Furthermore, if genetic manipulation had been performed, one of the several reverse-genetic systems available for betacoronaviruses would probably have been used19. However, the genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone20. Instead, we propose two scenarios that can plausibly explain the origin of SARS-CoV-2: (i) natural selection in an animal host before zoonotic transfer; and (ii) natural selection in humans following zoonotic transfer. We also discuss whether selection during passage could have given rise to SARS-CoV-2.

Simply more of a chance that it came from a rundown SARS lab hundreds of feet away, than a pangolin. There was virtually no oversight and safety and many articles are coming out saying that it was probably the lab.
This was an act of war. They killed everyone who tried to blow the whistle.

Occums razor. It was the chinese government

Quote:
Many staff from the Wuhan lab have been training at a BSL-4 lab in Lyon, which some scientists find reassuring. And the facility has already carried out a test-run using a low-risk virus. But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Tim Trevan, founder of CHROME Biosafety and Biosecurity Consulting in Damascus, Maryland, says that an open cul-ture is important to keeping BSL-4 labs safe, and he questions how easy this will be in China, where society emphasizes hierarchy. “Diversity of viewpoint, flat structures where everyone feels free to speak up and openness of information are important,” he says.Yuan says that he has worked to address this issue with staff. “We tell them the most impor-tant thing is that they report what they have or haven’t done,” he says. And the lab’s inter-national collaborations will increase openness. “Transparency is the basis of the lab,” he adds.The plan to expand into a network height-ens such concerns. One BSL-4 lab in Harbin is already awaiting accreditation; the next two are expected to be in Beijing and Kunming, the latter focused on using monkey models to study disease. Lina says that China’s size justifies this scale, and that the opportunity to com-bine BSL-4 research with an abundance of research monkeys — Chinese researchers face less red tape than those in the West when it comes to research on primates — could be powerful. “If you want to test vaccines or antivirals, you need a non-human primate model,” says Lina.But Ebright is not convinced of the need for more than one BSL-4 lab in mainland China. He suspects that the expansion there is a reaction to the networks in the United States and Europe, which he says are also unwarranted. He adds that governments will assume that such excess capacity is for the potential development of bioweapons. “These facilities are inherently dual use,” he says. The prospect of ramping up opportunities to inject monkeys with pathogens also worries, rather than excites, him: “They can run, they can scratch, they can bite.”Trevan says China’s investment in a BSL-4 lab may, above all, be a way to prove to the world that the nation is competitive. “It is a big status symbol in biology,” he says, “whether it’s a need or not.
They were handling BSL-4 pathogens and using BSL-2 measures, as per recent accounts. Though official versions cant be trusted. And malice is usually cloaked in stupidity.
