Whether or not this is a bioweapon is unclear. If it is, perhaps it's designed to shut down economies rather than kill people. On the other hand, perhaps it isn't a weapon at all and is just a research project similar to the other Chimeric coronaviruses produced and studied at the Wuhan lab.

There may be plenty of virologists who think this couldn't possibly have come from a lab, but the problem right now is that when they say it couldn't possibly have come from a lab, they don't have any good reason, that I've seen, to support that conclusion, whereas there's a lot to suggest lab escape is possible. I'm willing to listen to people who know more than me, but I need them to actually show some evidence. The people who are showing evidence are those I linked to in my previous comment in points 3 and 4. It seems like there's a great deal of evidence for a lab escape.
