This is why I think sars cov 2 leaked from a lab in wuhan. 60,000,000 sqmi. of land area on Earth but about 1/2 of it is inhabited ~30,000,000 sqmi. where a spontaneous zoonotic leap could occur between animals and humans The probability of this spontaneous mutation occuring within a half mile radius of the most aggressive viral genetic engineering project on the planet (Wuhan virology lab) is roughly 1 in 30,000,000. If you want to narrow that down to heavily populated areas, its still around 1 in 3 million. The wuhan virology lab was recklessly performing hybridization of SARS like corona viruses in a BSL2 lab for over a decade. They were experimenting on coronaviruses more than any other lab on the planet. They are the capital of coronavirus research. This is public record. The epicenter of this virus is a market ACROSS THE STREET from the lab. 1 in 30 million that that was *accidental*. It isn’t plausible. I don’t know anything about the new UK strain. No reason to think the strains studied for the vaccines would be *more virulent* though, that I can think of.
