  1. What about this conspiracy theory?
  2.  
  3. The Chinese government stole the corona virus from a Canadian research facility after which it escaped.
  4.  
  5. "A Canadian government scientist at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg made at least five trips to China in 2017-18, including one to train scientists and technicians at China's newly certified Level 4 lab, which does research with the most deadly pathogens. Xiangguo Qiu — who was escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described by Public Health Agency of Canada as a possible "policy breach" — was invited to go to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences twice a year for two years, for up to two weeks each time. "This will be third-party funded, and therefore no cost to [the Public Health Agency of Canada]," say the documents, obtained through access to information requests. The identity of the third-party was redacted. During a Sept. 19-30, 2017, trip, she also met with collaborators in Beijing, the documents say, but their names have also been blacked out. [People working inside the lab] who asked not to be identified for fears of retribution, say there have always been questions about Qiu's trips to China — and what information and technology she was sharing with researchers there. "It's not right that she's a Canadian government employee providing details of top-secret work and know-how to set up a high-containment lab for a foreign nation," one employee said.

  8. So she went to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory multiple times, which is a newly certified Level 4 lab that does research with the most deadly pathogens. She may have brought the virus with her.
  9.  
  10. The lab is located in Wuhan, close to the Yangtze ([Address](http://english.whiov.cas.cn/About_Us2016/Contact2016)). When the facility was being built there were already worries that a virus could escape. "In 2017, as the opening of the lab approached, scientists told the publication Nature of their worries that one of those killer viruses could ‘escape’ and go on to infect members of the public. Tim Trevan, a Maryland biosafety consultant, said he had fears China’s culture could make the institute unsafe because ‘structures where everyone feels free to speak up and openness of information are important’."

  13. In a Nature article it is stated that "the SARS visus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times". [Source](https://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to-study-world-s-most-dangerous-pathogens-1.21487)

  15. The point of outbreak of the virus is said to be the Huanan Seafood Market, which is about 20 kilometers or a half hour drive away from the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory if you look it up on Google Maps. I'm not entirely convinced.
