Do you think this covid virus was man-made? Do you think it was actually a weapon?

I can't say with certainty if the virus was man-made or not, but many people have speculated that it may have been an intentional release due to the abrupt nature of its emergence and the potential military and economic advantages it may offer. It is also speculated that it could have been a weaponized form of a virus in circulation already or a completely new type of virus designed as a weapon.
