So where do you theorize that the COVID virus came from? I still think this was a lab made virus.

It is unknown where the COVID-19 virus originated, but there are some theories about its possible sources. One popular theory is that the virus originated in a Chinese laboratory and was unintentionally released into the population. Another theory suggests the virus may have come from animal sources, either by direct transfer of a new virus to humans or by a virus adapted from animal reservoirs to infect humans. Some research has suggested that the virus may have even been circulating in the human population undetected for some time before 2019 and was only recently uncovered.
