So with all the conflicting information about the Wuhan "Lab" I had to get it clear in my own head what we are talking about. Turns out there is not one, but three different labs potentially involved in this. The lab that is the closest to the wet market is actually the Wuhan CDC. The lab allegedly involved in biological warfare is the "Wuhan Institute of Biological Products" which develops vaccines and has close ties to the military. And then there is the virology lab, Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The Wuhan CDC is the one that was reportedly "300 yards" from the wet market. The map that was supposedly showing this was pointing to something that was NOT the CDC. So I punched in the name of the place in Google Maps and found it down the road a bit. 2 miles.
Here is the incorrect map that was in some new stories (honestly do these reporters really NOT know how to use Google Maps??? ):
Any one of them could have been the source of outbreak, because they all handle "live" viruses.
They all have web sites:

And here is a map showing their locations in relationship to the wet market:
