One year on...

Still zero evidence of a natural origin. No intermediate hosts, or human from animal infections of low grade infectiousness.

We do have:

A viral research lab in the city it came from. Doing research on bat Corona viruses. With some very unusual alterations to the genome, one of which we've never seen in a natural virus. Lab workers apparently hospitalised for some reason very early on.

Why the hell can't this research happen on dedicated islands with proper quarantine facilities?
