How do you know that? When is the last time such a virulent novel disease was discovered amid a pandemic situation? There's literally nothing to compare it to.

How do you know that? When is the last time such a virulent novel disease was discovered amid a pandemic situation? There's literally nothing to compare it to. Mutations happen at a greater rate with a greater total number of infections. Each infection is virus reproduction and when the virus reproduces it has a chance to mutate. This goes up exponentially with the number of cases, and such a large number of cases in such a small time frame can make it look like it isn't "natural".
- TrispusAttucks 5y agoGenome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 shows that it appears to have genetically diverged from a horseshoe bat strain ... several DECADES ago! The current behavior of this virus is not compatible with a virus that is that old. Unless the appearance of age is due to human modification. Which other genetic clues also seem to indicate. If lab leak is true - it is inconvenient enough for geopolitical power to refute.
