@urwumpe @GossiTheDog As I said, I don't know enough genetics to determine by myself how unusual this is, but my dentist's sister, who is a geneticist, reached that same conclusion all by herself after looking at the genome of the virus, so it must be pretty obvious to a geneticist. It might look unrealistic and black magic to us - but then me telling somebody what a new computer virus does after just looking at a hex dump of it looked like black magic to that person, too.

Anyway, my point is, it is fine to criticize Trump for static this as a fact, while it is only an unproven (albeit likely) theory based on some insufficient evidence. But it's definitely not correct to call it a "conspiracy theory". It's a perfectly legitimate theory, there is evidence supporting it, it's just not sufficient to prove it.
