….and that random Chinese person just happened to catch the exceptionally rare naturally-occurring animal virus that infects, sickens, and spreads among human beings like wildfire…

…on the metaphorical doorstep of one of the three labs in the world doing gain-of-function research on novel coronaviruses found in bats…

…and that spectacularly contagious virus also just happens to be nearly impossible to find in any other bats or animals in China.
