The difference is that if it came from an animal, well, that happens. But if it came from a lab leak, that’s a whole new can of worms and the pandemic was the result of gross negligence.
I would guess is came from a lab leak.
It appears there is no doubt there was "gain of function" research.
I am not qualified to say if that is good or bad idea?
As we encroach more, we will eventually get exposed to all zoonotic diseases I would guess, so then likely should research them all?
Like MERS, SARS, Ebola, etc., soon we likely will get all of them eventually.
We are just over populating the whole planet.
But then we should have more precautionary systems.
We likely should not be flying jets anywhere, ever.
There is no need, and the risk is way too high.
Tourism is not a valid reason to take such risks.
Especially since eventually is it bound to risk total species extinction.
So the question is not where or how it started, but why it was not quickly contained?
Why flights from China to Italy?
