Intel shared between US allies indicates virus outbreak more likely came from market, not a Chinese lab

Intelligence shared between Five Eye nations indicates it is more likely that the coronavirus was spread from exposure in a market than came from an accident in a Chinese lab, according to two western officials.
The virus that originated in Wuhan was not accidentally released from a lab, the officials said, citing an intelligence assessment that contradicts a narrative increasingly being pushed by the Trump administration.
A third source, from a Five Eyes nation, told CNN that the level of certainty being expressed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Trump is way out in front of where the current Five Eyes assessment is. This source acknowledged that there is still a possibility that the virus originated from a lab, but cautioned there is nothing to make that a legitimate theory yet.
The source added that “clearly the market is where it exploded from” but how the virus got to the market still remains unclear.
But without greater cooperation and transparency from the Chinese, it’s impossible to say with total certainty, the first official added.
Five Eyes is made up of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – in which the countries share a broad range of intelligence in one of the world's tightest multilateral arrangements.
The third source said it is also possible the US is not sharing all of its intelligence. While the overwhelming majority is shared among five eyes, there are pockets of information that each country keeps to themselves. When the information is shared, they share sources and methods, and sometimes countries do not want to share sources and methods.
The assessment follows repeated claims by Trump and Pompeo that there is evidence the virus originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“I can tell you that there is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan,” Pompeo told ABC News on Sunday.
The US intelligence community issued a statement on Thursday saying they are still working to “determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.” The statement said that the Covid-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and State Department did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.

The virus that originated in Wuhan was not accidentally released from a lab, the officials said, citing an intelligence assessment that contradicts a narrative increasingly being pushed by the Trump administration.
The countries in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing coalition are coalescing around this assessment, the official said, and a second official, from a Five Eyes country, concurred with it. The US has yet to make a formal assessment public.

US has evidence to support both lab and market theories of Covid-19's origin: Source
From CNN's Alex Marquardt
A senior United States Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) official acknowledged Monday night that the US has evidence to support both leading theories of where the Covid-19 outbreak originated.
One theory is that the virus came from an accident in a lab in Wuhan, China, and the other is that the outbreak started in a market in the city.
The official also noted that outbreak "does not appear to have been purposeful.”
This comes in response to an assessment by Western officials that it’s “highly likely” the virus originated in the Wuhan market. That contradicts the lab theory being pushed by the Trump administration.
That assessment -- which has the support of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the US' National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases -- is gaining support in the Five Eyes intelligence sharing coalition, which the US is a part of.
Those comments undercut a public statement from the ODNI issued just hours earlier which stated no such assessment has been made. It said it continues to "rigorously examine" whether the outbreak "began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan."

What happened Thursday: US President Donald Trump contradicted a rare on-the-record statement from his own intelligence community by claiming that he had seen evidence that gives him a "high degree of confidence" the novel coronavirus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan. Trump declined to provide details to back up his assertion.
Those comments undercut a public statement from the ODNI issued just hours earlier which stated no such assessment has been made. It said it continues to "rigorously examine" whether the outbreak "began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan."

Fauci: No scientific evidence the coronavirus was made in a Chinese lab
PUBLISHED MAY 4, 2020
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species,” Fauci says. Based on the scientific evidence, he also doesn’t entertain an alternate theory—that someone found the coronavirus in the wild, brought it to a lab, and then it accidentally escaped.
Fauci is most concerned that the United States will be put to the test this fall and winter by a second wave of COVID-19 if the country does not blunt the infection rate by the summer.
“Shame on us if we don't have enough tests by the time this so-called return might occur in the fall and winter,” he says, advising that the U.S. needs to make sure we not only have an adequate supply of tests available before a second wave hits, but also a system for getting those tests to the people who most need them.
“I don't think there's a chance that this virus is just going to disappear,” he says. “It's going to be around, and if given the opportunity, it will resurge.” As such, Fauci says the U.S. should also focus this summer on properly reinforcing the nation’s health care system, ensuring the availability of hospital beds, ventilators, and personal protective equipment for health care workers.
He also stressed the importance of continuing to social distance everywhere until the case counts start to fall in cities and states. The U.S. witnessed about 20,000 to 30,000 new cases every day in the month of April, suggesting the country is stuck in its peak.

The most likely origin of the coronavirus was a wildlife wet market, says Australian PM

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that the most likely origin of the coronavirus outbreak was a wildlife wet market as he called for an independent review into the origins of the pandemic.
"The most likely (origin) has been in a wildlife wet market," he said Tuesday.
"What’s really important is that we have a proper review, an independent review, which looks into the sources of these things in a transparent way so we can learn the lessons and to ensure that, were there to be a virus pandemic potential that would originate anywhere else in the world, we can learn the lessons from that," he said.
"That’s what Australia is focused on."
Two leading theories: Morrison's comments follow recent claims from the Trump administration that the novel coronavirus originated from a laboratory, despite scientists in both China and the West saying the virus likely originated in bats.
A senior official in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) acknowledged Monday night that the US has evidence to support both leading theories of where the Covid-19 outbreak originated.
One theory is that the virus came from an accident in a lab in Wuhan, China, and the other is that the outbreak started in a market in the city.
The official also noted the outbreak "does not appear to have been purposeful.”
In a statement Thursday, the ODNI said that the "Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the Covid-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified."
Scientists in China and the West have pointed to research indicating that the virus is likely to have originated in bats and jumped to humans from an intermediate host -- just like its cousin that caused the SARS epidemic in 2002 and 2003.
