Was COVID-19 bio engineered?
What do you think:
It spontaneously occurred in a seafood market? Or it was created in a level-4 bio lab located literally one block away from said seafood market, where previous bio leaks have happened and whose scientists were studying the following:
>Bats infected with genetically engineered Coronavirus.
>Coronavirus infected Bats.
>Chimeric bio-engineered viruses.
A small sampling of publishings prior to COVID-19:
Title: Difference in Receptor Usage between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Coronavirus and SARS-Like Coronavirus of Bat Origin.
This is a paper from the Wuhan bio lab in 2007:
Combined HIV with the ACE2 molecules of human, civet, or horseshoe bat. Constructed chimeras by inserting SARS. The chimera gained ability to enter cells via human ACE2

Title: A Mouse Model for Betacoronavirus Subgroup 2c Using a Bat Coronavirus Strain HKU5 Variant.
We introduced the SARS S glycoprotein ectodomain with the Y436H substitution into the BtCoV HKU5 genome (BtCoV HKU5-SE), and a recombinant chimeric virus was isolated that was capable of productive infection in culture and in young and aged BALB/c mice.
Title: Identification of 2019-nCoV related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins in southern China.
Researchers, trying to prove that animals such pangolins are the missing link between bats and human for coronavirus transmission, constructed a chimeric coronavirus, substituting parts of the RDB of Bat coronavirus RaTG13 or KP876546 or similar with sequences from pangolins that better binds to ACE2.

Title: Methods and compositions for chimeric coronavirus spike proteins.
The present invention provides compositions and methods comprising a chimeric coronavirus spike protein.

Title: Manipulation of the Coronavirus Genome Using Targeted RNA Recombination with Interspecies Chimeric Coronaviruses.
Targeted RNA recombination has proven to be a powerful tool for the genetic engineering of the coronavirus genome. Here we describe procedures for the generation of recombinant and mutant mouse hepatitis virus … using an interspecies chimeric coronavirus. … this chimeric virus is used as the recipient for recombination with synthetic donor RNA. Additional mutations created in the donor RNA can be co-incorporated into the recombinant virus in order to generate mutant viruses.

Title: Genomic characterization and infectivity of a novel SARS-like coronavirus in Chinese bats.
To study the possibility of cross-species transmission of SL-CoVs carried by bats using suckling rats as an animal model.
