They may be hoping it works out that way. Frankly, I believe they would say anything, even a partial
mea culpa, to avoid the world calling for their head. There are still too many holes in the wet-market story (numbers of people & when). Also, from what I've read, the recombination (of 2 or more types) necessary to make
this virus would've had to occur virtually simultaneously and accidental animal jump to human doesn't seem to fly. Also because... Communist China.
