You're commenting on a report that the (US Government's) DoE is saying it was lab made, so... the US isn't actively supporting any cover up, or they're doing a profoundly terrible job.

Just to clarify, because the nuance is getting lost, they are not suggesting it was lab made. A naturally occurring virus can be studied and then accidentally leaked from a lab.

But yes, there's no indication that the US is trying to cover anything up. And China is secretive about all sorts of things, they're an authoritarian government.
