The big question in my mind is: What now?
Close the Wuhan institute because they have proven themselves incompetent at handing dangerous substances? Convince the Chinese to improve their disaster handling procedures, in particular about releasing information quickly and clearly in the event of an accident like this instead of attempting to cover it up?
These are contradictory goals since one of the biggest things necessary to prevent cover ups is to switch to a culture of improvement vs. a culture of punishment. You want the sort of culture like the FAA and NTSB when dealing with airplane crashes: find the causes and figure out how to prevent it from happening again. Punishment of perpetrators is not done unless they were acting with malice. It's a very difficult thing to achieve because it goes against human nature.
