- the horseshoe bats that most likely hosted the virus weren't even sold on the wuhan wet market, according to several eye witnesses

- there are no known horseshoe bat colonies in a 900km diameter around wuhan

If you have sources for these, you will have convinced me that it's more likely that it originated from the lab than the market.
