Come on you must be able to do better than that. That's just a screenshot that someone's typed Wuhan CDC on. Maybe it's really there, or maybe it's where Google Maps says it is, 4 km south of there.
The Guardian thinks it's real. Of course with their track record of corrections and clarifications...
The Guardian thinks the Wuhan Centre for Disease Control is real because it is. They say it's "located not far from the fish market". Arguably true, if you think 3.7km is not far.
The Graun doesn't mention another lab 300m away as far as I can tell.

Off topic but may be of interests to geologists on here.
I have acquired some 600 square metres of land which I am very very slowly turning into a garden and potager etc. it is currently wild and this week NW Electricity have started the process of removing an electricity pole on the land and laying the connection in an underground cable. It is hard work because the rock under the land (and we are on a hill) is dolerite, which is a sort of volcanic-like - and incredibly hard - rock, as you can see below.
Raised beds in the potager anyway. Even digging up a small bed in the front garden brought up quantities of the stuff. Imagine doing 600 sq mtrs!!
Get a megaton of topsoil and dump it on top.
ETA it's what Osgood Mackenzie did at Inverewe.
A friend of mine with a tree farm makes his own soil - soiled horse bedding/manure composted for a year, mixed in with river silt from the local water treatment plant's settle tanks.

The Economist put it at 500m:
The first flutterings of lab-leak concern were prompted by simple geography. That market is just 12km away from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (wiv), a global centre for coronavirus research. The Wuhan Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc), which also worked on bat coronaviruses, is closer still: a mere 500 metres.
It's because you insist on following their dodgy tweets pal!
If you had read the Worobey paper, which you have not, you would have noticed that even THEY now admit - in this heavily revised version, after they faced much criticism - that the CDC lab is really close to the market - 277 metres, to be precise - but they hastily move on and say there is no evidence that it was fucking around with bat coronaviruses, even tho the Chinese admitted that they were, early on

It's farcical
I can only assume the lab has been razed to the ground by now. Probably in the weeks after it all kicked off.

Yes
I think - it is hard to be sure - that the Chinese moved it pronto after the outbreak
If the Loch Ness monster existed there would need to be at least 50 of them. Air breathing plesiosaurs or whatever. One surfacing every minute or so. Think we might have noticed.

If the Tories crash to defeat at the next election, would anyone bet against them embracing Johnson as their saviour?
