Accidentally what?

Read the links. It's unlikely it started in Wuhan, it's unlikely it came from a lab. 3 early strains have been identified around Wuhan pointing to an intermediary animal host. Humans need to stop taking credit for everything nature does :)

What are the chances, millions of bats interacting with millions of other animals out in nature, or one test gone wrong in a lab that somehow allowed cross infection to an intermediary species that just so happened to facilitate a viable mutation that then jumped onto the researcher or janitor or however it could have exited the lab. Was anyone working at the lab infected?

Jesus, Maybe Nighthawk is right and you need to stop the CCP Koolaid. It's common sense after you look at the facts, it's the definition of Occums razor. I'm not getting into an argument over this again, I've been in too many, believe what ya want cause it makes no difference to anything, the same as me believing it did.

Occam's razor is the problem-solving principle that states that "Entities should not be multiplied without necessity." The idea is attributed to English Franciscan friar William of Ockham, a scholastic philosopher and theologian who used a preference for simplicity to defend the idea of divine miracles.

Nature has a lab the size of a planet, what are the chances this 'accident' happened in a human lab instead of out in nature's lab. It would be a divine miracle if the needed random mutation happened in a lab.
