FBI boss says COVID-19 'most likely' escaped from lab
Days after it emerged that the US Department of Energy deemed the COVID-19 pandemic to have sprung from a lab incident, FBI director Chris Wray says that the bureau agrees.
It's been a popular theory among armchair commentators since the beginning. The outbreak started in Wuhan, China. There's a Wuhan Institute of Virology. QED. But the conclusion is far from conclusive, as it were. Although apparently the result of fresh intelligence, the department's judgment had been made with"low confidence," sources say, and some US agencies lean toward a"natural transmission" explanation while others remain undecided for a lack of solid evidence.
