If the virus was inadvertently imported ti Wuhan from elsewhere, the overwhelming probability is that the first outbreak would have been in elsewhere. Elsewhere would have been ahead of the curve. Non of these things happened and the spread centres on China.
I assure you that few people consider me a clown, which makes you either extremely astute or as thick as the stuff you keep raking. "When the finger points to the moon, the idiot looks at the finger."It can’t have been imported because the outbreak would have started at the point the
person importing it to Wuhan originated from, or there would have been a simultaneous outbreak at that location. Neither happened which proves two things, #1 Your theory is incorrect and #2 You are a clown.
I won’t mention the Laboratory Guards Olympics
You are speaking of probabilities, we are speaking of possibilities.
Considering that you are a circus act, that’s rather sad.
When a bomb detonates, you look for the smoking hole in the ground to locate the place of detonation. Wuhan is the smoking hole in the ground where this virus is concerned. Wuhan is the point of detonation.
Usually the source of the bomb is far away from the place where it detonates.
Speaking of cooking, as shan-lu Liu at Ohio state university point out, the virus' genome has been sequenced and if it were man made there would be signs of inserted gene sequences (which there are not).
that's the problem. Back in the 80s, genome modifications were done using virus vectors which leave tell tale backbone residues.
When a bomb explodes looking into the hole won't necessarily tell you where it came from or why it was dropped.

Given the connection between a form of rabies and bats, I'd be running away from them under any circumstances. I wouldn't be happy to touch one even wearing decent gloves. Not scared of bats, as such, but the disease issues are potentially serious.I doubt if we will ever know for sure where the virus started, but my best guess would be Wuhan, either in the wet market there or got out of one of the Labs there by mistake. This is not 100% certain and if I was the Chinese then I would be grasping at any straw I could to deflect attention onto someone else.
There is a small possibility it started somewhere else and we cant rule that out completely but most of the experts I have seen and read think it originated in Wuhan.
One thing I think I would like to see is the total banning of bats being sold to people as food. It has been known for donkeys years that bats carry multiple viruses. I think I read somewhere more viruses than any other animal. Therefore the breading, collection and selling of bats for food should be made illegal, and the punishment for this should be extremely serious. I'm not talking about a slap on the wrist or a small fine, I'm talking about something like 10 years imprisonment.
China is not the only country that eats bats there are many others, the banning of bat consumption should be world wide and severe punishment handed out to people that flout this.
I remember seeing a documentary about viruses years ago, and the presenter was saying that bats seemed to play a large role in the spread of viruses due to the large amount they carried within them. He said that the next world wide pandemic which would eventually strike the world would almost certainly have originated in a bat. He said that eating bats should be banned world wide.
A few days ago I mentioned the possibility that the virus could possibly attach itself to small pollution particles emitted from vehicles. There is more on this and additional information about virus death rates and pollution in this article, well worth a read.
Is air pollution making the coronavirus pandemic even more deadly?
Dirty air is well known to worsen the heart and lung risk factors for Covid-19 - early research is cause for concern

Though some of the worst affected parts of Wales are around Newport and Cardiff - both sort-of on the coast. And Swansea. With the peculiarly low number in Powys, which is not coastal. (But also has no real hospitals.)
