Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Viruses jumping from animals to humans is a very well-established theory. What makes this virus so different that you make the extraordinary claim that in this particular case, that didn't happen?
- codeulike 6y agoI think the idea is that that did happen, but it happened in a lab for studying bat viruses, rather than in a cave. SARS-1 escaped from labs numerous times.
- adrianb 6y agoViruses escaping from labs are also well-established, frequently occurring incidents [1]. Both should get attention and investigative effort.
