While most scientists believe the new coronavirus jumped from animals to humans, President Trump thinks it may have come from a Chinese laboratory, while his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said there's "significant evidence" to back up the "lab leak" theory.
The outbreak emerged in Wuhan - a large city that's home to a virology institute that studies bat viruses, among other things.
But getting answers in Wuhan is not easy - as the BBC's John Sudworth discovered.
"One woman we arrange to interview arrives with plain-clothes policemen in pursuit. When she scrambles into our car, they block our way," he reports.
"We meet another man in the darkness on the banks of Wuhan’s East Lake. He tells us he’s been visited twice by the police for speaking out about the death of his father.
"For victims and journalists alike, asking questions about how and why the outbreak began in Wuhan, and whether it might have been better contained, is not easy.
"But at the epicentre of this global disaster, the need to ask questions is a necessity, not a choice."
