Only three labs in the world had Coronaviruses and this lab specialized in it. Yes the first cases were traced to the market, but it's in the same town as the one lab in the world that specializes in very similar viruses (which were never naturally observed nearby). It is objectively quite a coincidence if the virus didn't leak from that lab.

Source? Coronaviruses (e.g. SARS and MERS) have been researched all over the place as it was years ago (before COVID outbreak) already stated as one of the major virus groups with potential for pandemics.

Prolly you'll have a hard time finding a metropolis which wasnt researching corona viruses.
