You are correct. It makes no difference. This has been an exercise in "bad things will happen" used to reform political views and stoke sabre rattling. China is a bad actor in many arenas, just as the US is a bad actor in many arenas. The idea that any country releases some lab-grown bug will never be politically admitted, so the theory is irrelevant.
I tend to think China is a danger to humanity at-large, but I could be wrong. These specific events have not surprised me (new virus, spread, etc) but the sheer amount of incredulity at the behavior of countries (China, US, etc) is disheartening.
- LMYahooTFY 6y agoWhile the points you make may be true, they do not conclusively show that it makes no difference. See my response to GP.
- Supermancho 6y ago> I think there are social/political ramifications to seriously consider. Totally disagree. The political ramifications were apparent the moment the denials and information flow stopped. There's nothing more to be gained. Basic game theory.
- LMYahooTFY 6y agoAre you vaguely referring to some principle source of truth you found on this matter?
