It absolutely makes a difference, because we need to stop this from happening again. We can't just accept that labs are going to continue to release dangerous viruses and then just deal with the effects every time.
- LatteLazy 5y agoThe issue here is China. My evidence for this is that this keeps happening in China (SARS etc). So if it's lab leak, the problem isn't the US or Russia or Butan doing lab work. It's China doing lab work insecurely. And if it's a food hygiene thing, it's not a world food hygiene thing, it's a Chinese food hygiene thing. So the action here is to sanction the fuck out of China. And that is true whether it's lab leaked or zoonotic or any other unimaginable source.
- fullstackchris 5y agoUh... are you forgetting about a thing called H1N1? Granted, it wasn't as dangerous as COVID, but that originated in the good ol' US of A. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to harsh ideas just for the sake of it - this could have happened in any country really - all you need is human interaction with animals and enough time.
