This detracts, via a strawman argument, from the more pressing concerns: was it leaked from a lab? Or, given this evidence, was it evolved/mutated in a lab?

- amanaplanacanal 5y agoIf it was leaked from a lab, what would you propose be done about it? Why do you feel this is a pressing concern? I could totally believe that it was a lab leak, but I suspect that could happen in many labs.

Not the grandparent, but if one believes that the virus was accidentally leaked from a lab, surely that means their containment protocolos are deficient or not adequately followed. That is an actionable price of information, especially if they are handling other strains of viruses that could leak in the future. Whatever lessons can be learned from that can also be exported to other similar labs around the world. I have no idea of whether that was the case, though.
