I feel the idiotic claims by the Trump admin (it is a bioweapon! It was released by China to make me look bad!) made it hard to actually push forward the strong arguments in favor of an accidental lab release.

There was a lot of controversy around the P4 lab in Wuhan when it was built, as this was seen an unnecessary risk. There has been breaches of security protocols several times in the past.

The fact that a new virus would first appear in that city would have been quite a coincidence that could not be ruled out, but the accidental lab release should always have been an hypothesis.
