If true, I think this would be the first ever case of a novel virus ever being developed in a lab and then accidentally released.

If false, then it's yet another viral mutation / species cross over which have happened all the time throughout history.

When I hear hoofbeats I think "horses" not "zebras"...

Why not? There are multiple hurricanes every single year, but I still hear about them. Especially the ones that might affect my area.

But it might be more like: "Yet another hurricane cause by weather." Not really a story, since they all have been. The opposite, though, that'd be a real story: "Hurricane not caused by weather!"

Sorry, I edited my comment at the same time you posted your comment - leading to yours to not have the proper context.

(For the record I wrote something about things that happen frequently not being news)

No worries!
