If the Chinese were going to engineer a bio-weapon and deliberately release it into the world, they would have made it a lot more deadly.
If Covid did come from a lab, it was an experiment, released accidentally, and the Chinese simply took advantage, trusting Western media and governments to do what they do best, and whip up a mass hysteria over nothing in order to make money and expand their own power.
I'm no fan of China, but in this instance, they're just a distraction. The real villains are our own governments, and we can't let them use the Chinese as a scapegoat to avoid accountability.

This is the most likely scenario. It was a research thing in the hands of Chinese incompetent neglect.
