No.

This is almost definitely correct.

I do think it leaked from a lab in Wuhan, but not that it was on purpose.

This, however, is possible, but probably false. The consensus among virologists is that the virus crossed to humans at the Wuhan animal market, not the lab. As I say, it's possible and scientists are still looking into it. We don't know the exact mechanism by which the virus first infected humans, but the market is more likely.

    It makes most sense that it came from the lab where such viruses were studied. But there was a cover-up.

    It makes total sense if you ignore the epidemiological and genetic evidence that it came from the seafood market and instead hallucinate a ton of non-existing evidence it came from the lab.

    There's no evidence to support the lab-leak theory at this time.
