I get that there's a lot of fear around the idea that Covid-19 was engineered, and the potential fallout that could occur if it was proven to be fact. But I expect that almost all governments are now working under the assumption that it was, because they would be extremely foolish not to. So this is all a moot point -- at the top level, the working theory must be the lab-leak theory.
And so, fast vaccine production must be a priority. The development of drugs to treat viral infections and their manufacture must also be a priority. The ability to detect carriers and quickly shut down travel must also be a priority. And how do we enforce quarantine in populations that are resistant to it? All of these concerns are, I am certain, at the forefront in the mind of any Western government to be certain, but likely any government anywhere.
Because regardless of IF Covid-19 was created in a lab, it COULD HAVE BEEN created in a lab. And we all got caught with our pants down.

- Zerverus 5y agoFunnily enough those screaming it was engineered loudest also were the ones saying it’s just the flu and we should react to it by not wearing masks. I propose that what we really see is that humans have a very hard time without someone to blame (hence victim blaming, hence religion and a whole bunch of other coping mechanisms).
