Yes you do.
The "escaped from a lab" origin theory of the coronavirus outbreak seems totally plausible and I don't really get why it was described as a wacky conspiracy theory. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/ …

i think "escaped from a lab" and "was engineered in a lab" and "was deliberately engineered and let loose from a lab" all kinda got mixed up

"As many have pointed out, there is no evidence that the virus now plaguing the world was engineered; scientists largely agree it came from animals. But that is not the same as saying it didn’t come from the lab, which spent years testing bat coronaviruses in animals."

I'd say partly because one of the earliest proponents of the theory was Tom Cotton, who also suggested that it could have been a biological weapon or deliberately released
-
also because it seems very unlikely scientists would be working on a novel coronavirus and publish absolutely nothing about it, and not even talk to other scientists outside china

I think it got stirred in with the “designed in a lab” crazies.

Yeah. Researcher got bitten, not implausible. Genetically-engineered weapon? WTH? Makes no sense and high bar for evidence and also what a stupid weapon (can't aim!) and also doesn't fit what we know.

Scientists who looked at the virus said it’s not possible. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-not-human-made-in-lab.html …

This itself is an example of the bad coverage IMO. The article's substance is clearly about the virus not being engineered by scientists, but the headline claims it's about it escaping from a lab, which are two entirely different things.
