The concept of gain of function works. It was not applied with the SARS_CoV2 virus at the Wu Han lab. The nearest relative to SARS_Cov2 virus (in terms of structure) was hundreds of miles away from the Wu Han Lab.
SARS_CoV2 virus evolved from the wild. The animal transfer to humans most likely happened at the wet market. It's just not known which animal was it. Patient #1 was a female lab worker from a lab on the other side of town.
The furin cleavage appeared due to a mutation and went away due to a mutation. Only two variants of SARS_CoV2 virus have the Furin cleavage, the original strain (no greek letter nickname) from Wu Han and the delta variant. No other variant of SARS_CoV2 virus has/had the Furin Cleavage.
