As most of us are aware, in many pandemic/zombie/similar kind of movies an unsuspecting lab technician tends to be bit by a nice little furry animal. They look at the sound and choose to disregard it. And after that the snowball gets rolling, people die, lights get turned off, etc. etc. 
This is also called Chekhov’s gun or it wouldn’t happen unless it was a necessity for the movie. 
Since we’re already in tinfoil hat country, who is to say that someone didn’t pat a nice little Pangolin and things got rowdy?

The Yanks have a Trump-story that they have to keep up. This is about Trump appearing to be hard-arsed against the Chinese in the eyes of his supporters. Also, it's setting up the US's excuse for their next economic action against the Chinese. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump talking about cancelling debt obligations to the Chinese "to pay for the disaster they started" etc. That would go down well in the homes of his supporters as well as giving the US a boost in the rebuilding phase.

It's interesting that Trump keeps touting the "Chinese let it out" line. What about the SARS epidemic? Or the MERS epidemic?
SARS got in to humans from an epidemic of the same disease that was running through civet cats. Civet cats were bought/sold as food at the time of the SARS outbreak and officials seized them from markets to control the disease. The civets got it from bats.
MERS isn't even from China (the ME bit is "Middle East"), it was first reported in Saudi Arabia and seems to have come to humans via camels from, you guessed it, bats.
As bats represent about 20% of all mammal species (about 1200 species of bat around the world, which is second only to rodents in terms of numbers of species), it's not unreasonable to wonder what else might find it's way to us...but don't take that as an excuse to kill bats. Stick to 5G towers instead. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

A slightly new slant has occured to me but I'm not able to substantiate it.
The organisation that processes most of the sewage in Wales has been monitoring the amount of this virus in the waste water system. The levels they have been recording in different areas match very closely to the prevalance of the virus in the population in different parts of Wales.
So what I infer is that the virus can be swallowed by those who are carrying it and it gets voided with their bodily waste. No reason to think the same is not the case with bats, pangolins, whatever. So a simple pathway is someone in the market, or where ever the shoppers take these animals to in order to eat them, simply has to touch some voided material [ does the word "p o o " get censored here? ] and then touch their own face in order for the virus to enter their system.
Maybe the people who were buying lots of toilet rolls were right after all . . . ? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

So, if it's in the sewer system, will it thrive down there? Rats the next reinfection route?
And if it's detectable at sewage plant, is it flowing out to sea? Fish off the menu?
This isn't conspiracy stuff ... this will need looking at seriously. .
