At this point, nothing would surprise me. It would be nice to eventually know definitively just out of curiosity.

I suspect that due to the politicization and polarizing nature of the issue we'll likely never know for sure - there's always going to be some question or doubt etc.

Personally, lab origin or no, i think the most relevant thing is preparing a system to track disease outbreaks very efficiently so when one crops up anywhere we can rapidly respond to it so it doesn't get out of hand.
