The most important thing about all of this is the lack of relevance. Regardless of where the virus came from we have to deal with it anyway and it is certain that there will be more viruses including but not limited to coronaviruses spreading among humans. Being more careful with laboratory work and processes might be a start, but being truly ready for what we have every reason to expect means a lot more than that. Looking backward is not going to get us very far with this problem. We need to look forward and actually do the work to have processes, protective gear, and robust care systems in place.

- firecall 5y agoI agree with that in many ways. However, I cant help but think that we do need to understand the causes of Covid-19. Our society should be able to prevent this kind of thing in future. Regardless of it's a Lab Leak or Natural Transmission. Just moving on and doing better next time isnt the entire solution. All aspects of this Pandemic can be investigated, studied and learnt from! Next time things could be considerably worse!
