CNN have it better: "The current intelligence reinforces the belief that the virus most likely originated naturally, from animal-human contact, the sources said. But that does not preclude the possibility that the virus was the result of anaccidental leak from the Wuhan Institute, where coronavirus research was being conducted on bats."

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Thought so. If 3 staff were sick enough to go to hospital then any outbreak at WIV must have been substantial.
