*ahem* People taking antibiotics to treat colds do not create a mutated virus, they creates a mutated or resistant bacteria, just like using antibiotic soaps, etc. Now if it were the overprescription of antiviral soaps and medicines, then that's a different story.
It very possibly could be man made since it is only a couple of genes off from more common viruses, and I mean litereally only a couple. The scientists said it would be pretty easy to create this virus from the more common one.....then again, parts of China are perfect conditions for the mutations of viruses and bacteria, it's not that uncommon for new strains to originate from the same region as they have previously. Of course knowing that it's a perfect place to "drop off" a viral bomb....because it could look natural.
Chances are the world will never know.....
