The base rate says, "nope". If you read pre-covid epidemiology journals/blogs/lectures you'll find most of them make fun of the "bush meat" claim of zoonosis. It's hard to catch a respiratory virus from an animal. VERY HARD. Virus are very short pieces of information highly, highly specialized to receptors. The odds of an animal virus matching the receptors in a human are practically ZERO (in Bayesian terms). The odds of morons in biolabs do it, are 99.999999%
