Nothing to worry about since Dr. Fauci approved US-funded work in China.
Fortunately China has assured the world that none of the dangerous viruses have been released from their labs, and Dr. Fauci has agreed with that assessment.
Imagine how bad things would be if the COVID was really a bioweapon instead of simply an odd freak of nature.
This came out last year and was denied in this forum.

What has happened to the National Review?
Fauci heads NIH, which gave money to the Wuhan lab to study bat coronaviruses:
The US National Institute of Health, a government agency, also gave a $3.7million research grant to the WIV [Wuhan Institute of Virology] to carry out research on bats from caves in Yunnan, more than 1,000 miles away. Scientists have traced the sequencing of the COVID-19 genome to Yunnan, the Mail on Sunday revealed over the weekend.
The US State Department raised concerns over safety issues at the Wuhan research lab studying coronaviruses in animals like bats two years ago, new diplomatic cables reveal. . .They voiced concern over a lack of safety protocols and the biosafety of the lab’s research on coronavirus in animals like bats and warned that if cautionary steps weren’t taken, the lab’s research could spark a SARS-like outbreak.
Fortunately China has assured us that the virus did not come from a lab in spite of the concerns from US observers.
Check out the Nature references if you want to go back to an original source that predates the current epidemic.
Fortunately Nature has added disclaimers in response to pressure from the government of China. We would not want people coming to independent conclusions that don’t agree with the party line.
Here’s a nice walk down memory lane where it mentioned that this might have been made in a lab last April, when this was all just getting started. Now look at those that so arrogantly told us how wrong that was.
Here is the honest truth.
This could have been a lab accident. It could also have been natural. No one really knows 100% for sure which it is. The majority of the evidence is pointing to a natural origin… or at least an origin of an intermingling of species that would never really come into close contact with each other in the wild… but there is still some chance that it escaped a research facility.
We just don’t know yet.
Anyone who tells you that they do is lying to you.
And of course it should be looked into and researched for how to prevent and prepare for future pandemics… because this is going to happen again… probably in our lifetimes and it will likely be a nastier bug next time.
Those two possibilities are certainly valid possibilities. But not the only two.
It could have been deliberate.
Or it could have existed since before recorded history, but only now has it managed to penetrate into the human population.
As you noted, nobody (among pedestrian internet handles) knows.
I will say this: If it was a lab accident (which is my guess) or deliberate, SOMEBODY does know.
A far as an internet discussion goes, all we have at our disposal is to cast aspersion on those who raise possibilities we don’t agree with. 
That’s all I need. Just listen to China. They are very honorable. Especially the leaders. Trust them. They have earned it.
Real news is fake news, but Tyler Durden is facts. Makes sense now?
It should be pointed out that the Wuhan lab is a world class level 4 containment facility with international teams of top level scientists from the US and Europe, easily comparable to labs in the west. It isn’t likely to have escaped a facility like that, though the chances are not zero.
Why would any country deliberately release a virus in their own back yard?
Same reason they’d kill their first born if it was a girl.
That is something that could happen to another person.
Releasing a virus intentionally could hurt yourself.
So why do it in your own backyard?
Like say the US government would want to deploy a biological agent against China. Why would they release it Chicago?
Releasing a bioweapon in your own country would only make sense if you know that your population already has a high degree of immunity, and you want to reduce the risk of reprisal from the target countries.
The fact is that the reported death rate in China is 3 per million while the US rate is 1714 per million of population. The massive difference in death rate must just be a coincidence since China has assured the world that the virus is of natural origin.

What better way to try to prove that the virus did not come from their lab?
Don’t you find it odd that the virus did not spread beyond Wuhan within China yet it flew around the world within weeks?
‘Nuff said. You don’t actually believe that bull ■■■■ do you?
More bull ■■■■ from the CCP.
Is this a true statement?
It doesn’t sound like a true statement.
You haven’t heard of Chinas ageing problem? Too many old people, not enough workers.
