I'm a former biotech guy, live in a biotech hub, and still have friends. In general nobody "knew" either way that early except for a few wingnuts. I'm not a panda lover by any means, but it would be stupid to blame them incorrectly. Well it was their fault either way, but need to know for sure whether it was labs or wet markets, since the fixes are different.
Short of obvious genetic engineering hacks, which would leave frankenstein scars in the DNA, it's hard to look at the bug and spot GoF, which is essentially just guided natural evolution.
