The people researching the genome are well on their way to disproving that

There's many efforts underway to build the virus' family tree by tracing mutations. Yesterday, the other Dave (from Cleveland) posted a link to a free NYT article that gave a nice summary of some of the research. If that's interesting, there's more to be found via Google.

So far, everything they've found strengthens the prevailing theory that the virus originated in Chinese horseshoe bats and jumped over to humans near Wuhan through an uncertain path. They're also helping to confirm the suspected timeline of virus spread out of Wuhan and around the West.

In time, I'm very confident the history of its genome will disprove the conspiracy theories. But I'm sure that the people promoting the conspiracy theories (including the Chinese government) will ignore that and keep on promoting them. Conspiracy theories only take root in people who didn't want to know or accept the truth in the first place.
