I know you think it was engineered, and I’m pretty sure you believe it was developed as a weapon and that it was released intentionally, and your poll cannot reflect that with two options only.
1)Natural via evolution only 2)Natural and the augmented in lab as part of disease research 3)Natural and engineered in lab specifically as a weapon 4)From scratch weapon
You may also want to add your theory of spread too.
1)natural origin via evolution only and not leaked from a lab (only community spread) 1.5)Natural and studied in lab without augmentation and accidental lab leak 2)Natural origin and augmented in lab as part of disease research and accidental lab leak 3)Natural and engineered in lab specifically as a weapon and accidental lab leak 4)natural origin via evolution only and intentionally released 5)Natural and augmented in lab as part of disease research and intentionally released 6)Natural and engineered in lab specifically as a weapon and intentionally released
