I do not know the full story, only that flu 1977 was a leak of some sort. Leaks happened at least 4-6 times with SARS1. An accidental leak at WIV, where many coronaviruses were studied in P2 or P3 conditions, is more likely than a natural origin for which no evidence was found.

Re-upping ⁦ @alisonannyoung ⁩ US labs reported 450+ accidents spanning 2015-2019 involving some of the world’s most dangerous pathogens subject to federal regulation because they “pose a severe threat”. That’s ~2 dangerous pathogen accidents per week.
