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

It is impossible to definitively prove whether a virus such as COVID-19 was created intentionally or not; however, there has been much speculation that suggests this virus was man-made and could potentially be a weapon.  A theory put forth by many researchers is that the virus's genomic sequence is very similar to viruses that have circulated in research laboratories, indicating that the virus could have originated from one of these laboratories.
