My own idea is a combination of the two. I wonder if it leaked out of the lab by a lab employee trying to make some money on the side by selling lab animals to the wet market. (Note well: This is just my "seems kind of plausible" guess. I have no actual evidence to support it. And no, it's not actually "my own" idea - I heard it suggested by someone, who also had no evidence that I recall.)

半混蛋 So you say, it was the janitor, with dead lab animals, in the wet market, making some surplus money?

I assumed it was the gardener, in the dining room, with the hatchet..

Its almost as if the whole human species could not be trusted with dangerous tools and regularly drops the ball.

These wet-market are such a medieval relic and all just because of superstitious nonsense about refrigerated food being bad for your chi.

Homeopathy, TMC and how those shamanistic practices are all called wherever by whomever kill. 2.7 million so far...

Even worser, when you think about all those other "tech" miracles enlightenment zealots insist humanity can be entrusted. We blow a nuclear power plant every ten years, drop the vials like they are hot, but hey more power into each pocket.

Cant wait for the first long-range flying car, getting hacked and used in a remote attack. That surely will be the day, someone will admit that tech is limited,not by what can be done, but by who gets to wield it.

Makes one wonder though, that day i entrusted that vital system for millions, to that upstream repo.. was i the janitor that day..

This is an extremely poor theory formulated by blindly speculating and then skipping the step where one gathers evidence for or against or even considers whether the idea even makes sense in theory.

Nobody would sell lab animals from a virology lab to markets to eat. The consequences are obvious, animals would be accounted for, the risk would be extremely high to the persons future, and the profits small.

It's the kind of ideas you find on racist conspiracy theory blogs and you shouldn't share it here.
