D614G as the one in 1,300 Aminoacids "natural" random mutation of the Sars-Cov-2 or the distributed lab designed variant, uniquely suited for the human host?

What is more probable, statistically and intuitively: D614G as the one in 1,300 Aminoacids "natural" random mutation of the Sars-Cov-2 or the distributed lab designed variant, uniquely suited for the human host, and at that particular (and also the geopolitical) time and point in the unfolding Pandemic of the Disease X-19 in January - February of 2020? I'll go for the "lab designed". - M.N.  - 10:31 AM 7/3/2020 __________________________________________________________________ "At a glance, the mutation seemed trivial. About 1,300 amino acids serve as building blocks for a protein on the surface of the virus. In the mutant virus, the genetic instructions for just one of those amino acids — number 614 — switched in the new variant from a “D” (shorthand for aspartic acid) to a “G” (short for glycine)." ___________________________________________________ 10:45 AM 7/3/2020 Michael Novakhov - SharedNewsLinks℠  |  InBrief  |  - Michael Novakh
