There is no "pivot;" there's RESEARCH. It started in US level 4 lab in Bethesda, GoF lost funding so it was moved to the level 4 lab in Toronto. From there it was hijacked by a Chinese power couple to the level 4 lab in Wuhan.
This was known in Feb 2020, maybe earlier.
How it got out may never be known but I don't think it jumped into a little car and escaped like James Bond.
