It's unlikely that it was man made. They've more or less documented the fact that it likely came from meat in a Chinese market from a mutation. It does seem odd that this virus is spreading so efficiently right after its inception, and it seems odd that China has suddenly stopped it, but it's highly doubtful to me that they would go on to create a deadly virus that would infect the entire world.
The scary part is that there isn't a lot known about this virus, and the government definitely knows (and isn't sharing) more than we do. So only time will tell, I suppose. But as of now, you have a 1/25 chance of dying if you catch it. That is 30X more deadly than the flu, IIRC.
