@gsgs: What is your opinion on the following article ?

https://jameslyonsweiler.com/2020/02/02/moderately-strong-confirmation-of-a-laboratory-origin-of-2019-ncov/

Normally I am very sceptical about lab origin rumors and wouldn't even bother reading if it were from a random internet blog.
But the author seems to be a cerdible expert (PhD, author of books and peer reviewed papers)

Excerpts:

"Unlike other related coronaviruses, the 2019-nCoV virus has a unique sequence about 1,378 bp (nucleotide base pairs) long that is not found in related coronaviruses."

"The gap in the line shows a lack of sequence homology beween the most similar bat coronavirus and 2019-nCoV."

"The resulting massive alignment confirms a major unique inserted element in 2019-nCoV not found in other bat coronaviruses, nor in SARS in the homologous genomic position"
