Both are possible. Zoonotic transmission first and escape while studying it.

I was just about to say I didn't think the lab would do it maliciously. It would be accidental during research.

Not so easy to answer. I mean, sure I can accept it was zoonotic. There is also the possibility it was lab generated especially since at the early onset, it was said it has been present in the animals species for a long time. It just happened to jump species now? It's a toss up.

The research lab hypothesis seems really unlikely, if it was there would've been a lot of extra information about it right at the start. Given the number of other things that just spontaneously spread to humans I don't think we need to start inventing conspiracy theories.

Question: I've heard genetic evidence makes it unlikely to have been engineered as a virus, but does it rule out normal unmodified bats in a research lab causing the virus? I confused, seems like people debunk "lab engineered" and pretend they've debunked "lab origin".
