What we need to do is make sure that the process is more transparent. If every approved lab had to log its research with a global watchdog we'd have a better idea where to start when things inevitable go wrong. From discussion before the Wuhan lab was built: "worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Tim Trevan, founder of CHROME Biosafety and Biosecurity Consulting in Damascus, Maryland, says that an open culture is important to keeping BSL-4 labs safe, and he questions how easy this will be in China, where society emphasizes hierarchy. “Diversity of viewpoint, flat structures where everyone feels free to speak up and openness of information are important,” he says." - https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.21487 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.21487
