Wait, I'll do it for you.

SARS-CoV-2 virus is a beta coronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir. However, the exact source of this virus has not been identified.

That last sentence is NOT trying to hint it was lab created.

Now just Google "Was Covid-19 created in a lab" and you'll see lots of stuff totally debunking that notion.
