I read Biohazard by Ken Alibek years ago and the current situation reminds me of one of the anecdotes in it. He was a Soviet scientist in charge of creating bio-weapons- the book starts with him planning world war 3. In one of the anecdotes talks about a lab leak they had, caused by someone not replacing a filter and the the lab accidentally pumping out anthrax all day and killing a lot of people. The government blamed it on local meat sellers at the market and executed them all. Blaming the local market seems to be part of the bio-weapon-denial playbook. It's a great (but terrifying) book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0031RS5DI/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0031RS5DI/ref=dp-kindle-redirec...
