Back in 2009 I used to date a girl in Connecticut. She was attending Yale. She was a very nice person but very sloppy. She would always break something or spill something, it was her nature. One day she told me she's running late with school stuff so "meet me at the lab". I came in, got thru security and went to her lab. There she was feeding some 200 mosquitoes sick with malaria, buzzing in a rather small jar, all packed there nicely. This was her assignment for 3 weeks that she had to do twice a day. I could never get over the fact how little security was in place and how, if jar would break, there was absolutely no way to catch them all, in the middle of summer, with all windows wide open. I will never forget this story...
- SantalBlush 3y agoWell I don't have any mildly interesting anecdotes about dating a bat who got sick in a cave, so I guess all the evidence points to a lab leak.
- junofan 3y agoIt’s worth investigating the lab to gather evidence. I think that is the point of the anecdote; things happen.
- SantalBlush 3y agoI was under the impression that there already were investigations, so if your assumption is true, then the anecdote would be too late. But it's intellectually dishonest of you to pretend that was in fact the purpose of the anecdote, and not to serve as evidence of a lab leak.
- thsksbd 3y agoAnyone who's worked with grad students knows that the lab leak is very plausible. Every one i know who did a science graduate degree has hairy stories.
