Either CNN, DOE or both seem to have confused WIV with Wuhan CDC's labs. This won"t add any credibility to the "low confidence" report.
They are likely deliberately confusing Wuhan CDC and Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), as the lab leak theory falls apart completely otherwise.

Wuhan actually consists of three component cities, Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou, which are separated by the Yangtze and Han rivers. Together, the three component cities of Wuhan covers an area more than 10 times that of New York city.

, which conducts research on coronaviruses, is located in Jiangxia district at the very southern end of Wuchang, which is itself the southern most component city of Wuhan located south of the Yangtze river. The market where COVID broke out, is in Hankou, the northern most component city of Wuhan north of the Han river. The Wuhan CDC lab, which does not conduct coronavirus research, is also located in Hankou.

It would be highly improbable for a virus leak at the WIV lab to move across all of Wuchang's large and heavily populated districts without spreading, jump over the Yangtze river, move across Hanyang without spreading, then jump over the Han river, and finally penetrate deep into Hankou before it finally starts to infect people.

The lab leak theory only works if there is a lab researching coronaviruses near the initial outbreak. The WIV works with coronaviruses but is too far away. The Wuhan CDC is close but doesn't work with coronaviruses. Thus, they must deliberately confuse the two to make their theory make sense.

Nature. From the Discussion: “These findings highlight life expectancy reductions of a magnitude unprecedented since the 1918 influenza pandemic. The million COVID-19 deaths between February 2020 and May 2022 have resulted in a drop in life expectancy at birth by 3.08 years; at age 35, by 3.02 years; and at age 65, by 2.07 years. These losses have effectively reversed all gains made in the last 40 years. Reductions for Hispanic populations are twice as large as the reductions for the non-Hispanic White population. Reductions for the Black population are twice as large as the reductions for the Asian population, who had the lowest reductions.”
