I originally didn't think that it came from a lab. Primarily because flu epidemics have happened before and they were of natural origin and there hadn't been good evidence that it came from a lab. But my opinion changed as more good evidence started to turn up that suggested engineering.

There's literally no evidence suggesting engineering. This is a deeply flawed paper (several cornaviruses of natural origin "rate" higher as artificial using their methodology) and essentially every other paper claiming to find some signal of engineering has been disproven or retracted.
