This is the classic meme https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/mmv2ig/lab_strains_unite/#lightbox https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/mmv2ig/lab_strains... Lab strains of things tend to be extremely sensitive and not human adapted. You shouldn't study and modify human-infecting organisms in your basement anyway. While you shouldn't ignore protective equipment and proper procedure... paranoia about infecting yourself with a lab leak isn't warranted.
