If it turns out that the coronavirus did escape from a lab in Wuhan, Twitter is going to owe ZeroHedge an apology for automatically flagging every link to their site. In fact they probably already do.pic.twitter.com/BIfpOl3RPP

Can't read that (they block EU/UK because GDPR, and I'm allergic to adware). The "bioweapon" theory reeks of Sinophobic agitprop: who releases a bioweapon without first developing tests, vaccines, and resilient infrastructure?
The Post article isn't implying that the virus was created in the lab, but rather that it's a natural virus that escaped due to insufficient safety measures.

That's a little less implausible, but begs the question of where they found it in the first place. And also: a biowar lab with poor enough containment to let a virus out is Not Normal for biowar labs we know anything about (eg USAMRIID, Porton Down).

This paper argues essentially what you just said

Is that the one that also states that US diplomats reported this to the US govt in 2018 along with a recommendation to send help because the research they were doing was important even if it was dangerous?

Here's an article from 2019 that shows just how dangerous viral research can be (from Science). It's worth a read. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/02/exclusive-controversial-experiments-make-bird-flu-more-risky-poised-resume … I hope they weren't doing anything like this.

This brilliant lady scientist IS arguing that the virus was indeed likely created in a lab Sir, and she is quite credible: https://youtu.be/qmL7okhbVzU (He explanation starts around the 14 minute mark)
