On September 6, the Zhifang STP in Wuhan was officially shut down, & the sewage from the plant was directly transferred to the Jiangxia STP for advanced treatment. The Jiangxia STP is in very close proximity to the WIV lab complex. https://twitter.com/TheSeeker268/status/1286695683605454849?s=20
There were multiple on-site lab safety inspections at Wuhan, during September last year.

On Oct 2019 Hubei Health Commission gave license approval to numerous companies in Wuhan for making/procuring disinfectants, Sodium Hypochlorite, Pipelines, and Pipe fittings https://twitter.com/TheSeeker268/status/1291119676588617728?s=20
They also released a new biosafety law in October last year. https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/China-up-close/China-knew-of-lab-safety-concerns-from-last-year
On Nov 2019, there was a tender for (among other things) Waste liquid sensing system with high sealing performance and automatic alarm https://twitter.com/TheSeeker268/status/1280237375545733120?s=20
In Dec 2019, China's new "vaccine management law" was officially implemented in all BSL-3 & above labs https://twitter.com/TheSeeker268/status/1265532878307409920?s=20
(Were the new biosafety laws, regulations, and on-site lab inspections a reaction to a probable spillover event?)
Phylogenetic studies also point towards the COVID-19 outbreak starting around Sept-Oct last year.

There are serious doubts about RaTG13 and Pangolin CoVs, and the shady process by which they suddenly appeared.

And we have a virus extremely adapted to humans without any close intermediate version, neither in humans, nor in the animals. https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1258761756790460419?s=20
Today, we have no plausible hypothesis to explain how the virus could have appeared in Wuhan in a natural way. But the fact that the epicenter was Wuhan, in close proximity to several virology labs specializing in CoVs, it is conceivable that the virus spilled from a laboratory.
There is no proof of a lab spillover, but the hypothesis is supported by robust circumstantial evidences and a long pattern of scientific misconduct by China-based researchers.
Scientific, media and forensic community needs to verify the possibility of a laboratory spillover.
Whichever side of the debate you stand on, I hope it mas more to do with fact-based science than your political beliefs. /End
