Yes. If the restaurant had a history of documented safety issues and the relevant regulatory government bodies didn't take action to rectify it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-dep... https://www.businessinsider.com/us-officials-raised-alarms-about-safety-issues-in-wuhan-lab-report-2020-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/us-officials-raised-alarms-a... Btw, comparing a restaurant worker being sloppy and a supposedly BSL-4 lab functioning at the level of BSL-2 lab is not a good look. Also, China's govt. has much much more control over a govt. lab than US has over a restaurant in California. The analogy fails.

The US has complete control over a restaurant in California. Its got a huge military and could nuke the place if it wanted to. Deciding not to is the same in both cases

  > The US has complete control over a restaurant in California No, it doesn't. > Its got a huge military and could nuke the place if it wanted to By this logic, the US govt. has control over every corner of earth. Also, was the US govt. running the place and ignoring safety warnings? Was the restaurant possible responsible for a global pandemic? The analogy is stupid and not worth discussing more. All I am getting from this is that people think a restaurant I n US has the same level of responsibility as the lab in Wuhan.
