Lots of things are "possible" now. I think most likely it was something taken out of the natural environment to be studied and lost control of in the china lab 300 yards from the "wet market" blamed for the leak, but yes there has to be some level of theory where a worker maybe "leaked it on purpose" or that a worker developed it for "population control". It comes out of China and they've had population control for 50+ years it's auto-generated (population control theory).
