It could be as simple as someone got infected in the lab and went to the market.

  Right? As if any handling or safety gear and equipment is 100% perfect. Never any needle stick or glove failures. Respirators and protective clothing always 100% perfect. Everyone perfectly followed all lab safety precautions with no absent minded failures. Just perfect all the time forever. I’ve always thought it was a handling contamination that got into community spread. It’s a very parsimonious explanation.

    Did you read the article? They patented a device to cut off blood flow to limbs in case of accidental injury with a needle.

      I didn’t see that part, only skimmed as it’s pretty long. A tourniquet won’t do anything for a needle stick injury. That’s pretty silly. A virus landing in a capillary bed takes 1 minute to reach the heart. If the tourniquet somehow did stop fast enough, what will they do? Debride the entire area? Sounds like total bullsh.
