@August - My working hypothesis from examining the RNA is that it was likely an accidental release from the Wuhan lab, as SARS vaccine attempt in process that was not complete.

I said that originally back in February and March and nothing has changed my mind about it. It also wasn't "new" in January either; back in March and April my calculations from the RNA out of both here and Italy said that the LATEST it was plausibly circulating was late October, and likely before then. That's now been validated with the recent blood antibody sample numbers out of the US from early December 2019.
