We're all locked inside a high-stakes thriller novel, we don't know if we're halfway through the book, at the start, or near the finale. We don't know how many volumes there are. We all want some answers. And for sure, how the story unfolds affects us all in the most direct of ways (lab leak or not). If this were a box set, by now everyone would have googled for spoilers, as the tension is unbearable. So yeah, lab leak or not may not make much difference to the hard reality, but 18 months of lockdowns displaced reality, some time ago already.
