I wouldn't say "extremely unlikely random combination of viruses leading to a pandemic" considering that is exactly what happened a few years prior with the SARS-CoV-1 virus. And we have evidence of it being a spill over event based on early cases surrounding the markets of Wuhan. The truth is we don't know right now what the origin was.

This is more of a map of biodiversity than it is poor species management.

Nevada was a climate refuge during the ice age due to its topography. The state is incredibly botanically diverse, as well as having aquatic species isolated by deserts has led to massive speciation.

You're not wrong. I hope we get more information about this. The lack of a transparent investigation means wemay never have a full picture.
