"Ms. Lentzos published an article in May 2020 in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists weighing whether "safety lapses in the course of basic scientific research" caused the pandemic. While acknowledging there was, "as of yet, little concrete evidence," she noted "several indications that collectively suggest this is a serious possibility that needs following up by the international community."
She was suggesting an accident, not a deliberate release: "If you're culturing a virus that is readily able to infect humans, particularly via the respiratory tract, then any droplet caused by a simple splash or aerosolization of liquid can be inhaled without you realizing it," she wrote. "Could an unknowingly infected researcher showing no symptoms unwittingly have infected family, friends, and anyone else he or she was in contact with? Or was there perhaps an unnoticed leak of a coronavirus from the lab, from improperly incinerated waste material or animal carcasses that found their way to rubbish bins that rats or cats could have accessed?""
