I think its beyond obvious that covid was created in the lab in Wuhan from experiments with bat viruses and leaked into the wet market via an incompetent employee. In other words, both the lab leak and the wet market are true. That's the Occam's Razor hypothesis but it can't be confirmed because the totalitarian dictatorship that runs China has likely erased the evidence.
After leaking from the lab, it was extremely deadly at first and this was made worse by the overuse of ventilators. It gradually mutated into basically another virus that causes the common cold over the course of 2 years.
It will likely remain an extremely controversial topic and I doubt there will be an objective history of the pandemic period within our lifetimes. It became a culture war issue and each side dug in on their respective positions, facts be damned.
- yawpitch 2y agoThat isn’t how Occam’s Razor works. Also SARS-CoV-2 lineages are still much more deadly and cause many more hospitalizations than the common cold. They haven’t magically mutated to be less significant, those who survived have more and wider spread partial immunity and we have, over time, developed better treatment protocols. In a hundred years or more SARS-CoV-2 won’t be killing a significant number of the elderly and the immune-compromised every year, but right now it’s still a leading reaper.
