Not bragging but I was in company with Bono one time and he was railing and ranting and he said big pharma has the cure for hiv/aids and they won’t release it coz they’ll be forced to give it to all African states for free and charge thousands per pill everywhere else to just break even so there’s no profit and they won’t do it.
Now Prep is available here for free and in other European countries yet it’s only marketed as a preventative drug for gay people. Not for all.

We deserve to be wiped out. In the worst way possible. Shitheads playing big dick pointing nuclear weapons at each other. I’ll go fuckin first I’ve to go to Asia on Wednesday morning And I still have a bronchial infection coughing my guts up every 20 seconds. Upsides ill have the three seats to myself. Downsides everything else. Give me death over an Asian prison or hospital any day.
Ruddo- you might see that collapse in China. Might.

I'm actually a molecular biologist. I'm going to look at the papers in detail, but blast searches always come up with all sorts of things dependent upon the parameters set. This is also pre-peer review, so it should be taken with a grain a salt.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised either way. Both it being naturally occurring and something engineered are equally valid.
ETA: "This is a preliminary study. Considering the grave situation, it was shared in BioRxiv as soon as possible to have creative discussion on the fast evolution of SARS-like corona viruses. It was not our intention to feed into the conspiracy theories and no such claims are made here. While we appreciate the criticisms and comments provided by scientific colleagues at BioRxiv forum and elsewhere, the story has been differently interpreted and shared by social media and news platforms. We have positively received all criticisms and comments. To avoid further misinterpretation and confusions world-over, we have decided to withdraw the current version of the preprint and will get back with a revised version after reanalysis, addressing the comments and concerns. Thank you to all who contributed in this open-review process. : Authors of the Manuscript"
that makes this announcement make a little more sense:
‘The results look good so far:’ Thai doctors tout promising treatment for Wuhan coronavirus

A cocktail of antiviral drugs appeared effective in treating a seriously ill coronavirus patient, a Thai health official said.
The HIV medicines lopinavir and ritonavir, which are sold by AbbVie Inc. as the product Kaletra, was used on three patients in conjunction with the anti-flu medication oseltamivir, sold by Roche Holding AG and Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. as Tamiflu, Somkiat Lalitwongsa, director of the Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok told reporters Monday.
