Based on the current available evidence, I believe the most plausible origin of SARS-CoV-2 is spillover from a bat to an intermediate animal, and then to a human. I further believe the available evidence indicates that this spillover happened naturally, likely at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China.
