The post that was quoted here has been removedAs far as I remember (and I really can’t be bothered looking it up at the moment) the proof was that the virus sprang from bats to a second creature and then to humans in the Wuhan area. And that the RNA showed this to be the natural case and that it was therefore not made in a lab.
Something like that.
And please stop with the racism malarkey. Yes. There is a lot of racism, but the point of your article is surely the scientific angle and not to have a dig at Americans... they got themselves enough problems as it is...

"A wet market, where animals are freshly slaughtered rather than chilled was identified as the source of the coronavirus outbreak."
More from the Guadian:
For various reasons, the Chinese prefer freshly slaughtered pig, chicken and beef over chilled or frozen meat that has been slaughtered before being shipped.
That desire is at the heart of why diseases such as avian flu in poultry and ASF have been so difficult to eradicate, with huge movements of live animals from all over the country – from farm to slaughterhouse to market – on a daily basis making controlling the spread of disease incredibly difficult.
A recent coronavirus outbreak in China has been linked to a wet market in Wuhan, eastern China.
