Relman mentions the possibility that the virus spread from bats to humans through natural mechanisms and then lists scenarios in which SARS-CoV-2 or a recent ancestor was placed in a lab where it was "knowingly or unknowingly, propagated" and genetically modified, before being accidentally leaked.  In the first scenario two or more undisclosed close ancestors of the virus had been discovered and were being researched in a lab.  As is technically possible, the scientists could have used one of the viruses to construct the SARS-CoV-2 backbone and spike protein receptor-binding domain and another to make the SARS-CoV-2 polybasic furin cleavage site.  He said the next logical step would be a desire to test the properties of the chimera by replicating it.https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4068627.
