There are two theories: - the covid19 was created naturally and just happen to happen near the only place on Earth (or one out of two or three places?) that study covid19-style viruses; - the covid19 was created in the lab and leaked outside because of negligence and/ or sloppy procedures.

Your choice which theory you believe. But a lot of powers in this world have vested interests to make you believe in “nothing to see here theory”.

AFAIK part of the reason the lab is there and studies this type of virus is because it's naturally found in the region.

correlation != causation

Except that coronaviruses are wide spreader on all continents. But even if we look at the closest known relatives of covid19, we are literally looking at half of Asia (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02596-2).
