answer this question of where the virus originated. but they said only that they all agree there are two possibilities. that the virus leaked from the wuhan lab or jumped naturally from an animal to a human in the wild. four u.s. agencies supported the hypothesis with a low level of confidence that it was naturally occurring in the wild, the report says. one intelligence agency has a moderate level of confidence that it leaked from the wuhan lab. other agencies felt they didn t have enough information to make a good assessment. now, what we got on friday from the intelligence community was barely two pages. those key findings of that classified report. and one thing they did assess was that the supplvirus was not chinese bioweapon and most agree it has not been genetically modified. but they say without more cooperation from china and more information from the chinese and beijing, the intelligence community won t be able to provide a more definitive explanation. jim. thank you, alex.
