CoViD-19 may even have some links with HIV/AIDS...a person may have catched a corona-virus that could develop into CoViD(19)...

It is unclear how CoViD-19 started...a claim of a "Wuhan lab-leak" (gain of function study gone wrong) is -in my non-expert view- AND in the view of WHO experts !- not that likely...

There are (lots of) stories CoViD did show up early in 2019...far before the "vet market spread" in Wuhan. 

Another "idea" could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic 

did give a corona-virus-as co-infection- a chance...In that scenario CoViD may have jumped from pigs into humans...Simply being missed-because the idea was the pigs "only" had African Swine Fever (ASF)...so no need to look further...

It reminds me of H5N1 in US cattle...very likely the virus spreading from cattle into farm cats and farm workers...In NL two dogs did catch Blue Tongue Virus (BTV)...it was not known dogs could catch-and die-from it...BTV was widespread in NL sheep...(the idea was it would show up again this year...but it did not !)
