The desperate need to blame China I find bizarre. Whether it’s their wet markets, or escaped from the lab, is largely irrelevant at this point in time, as it doesn’t change our containment response planning.
Sure, the origin, when absolutely determined, will affect international relations and trade, possibly even reparations, and is important in understanding for future prevention. But none of that changes our response strategy in the here and now.
Those saying - “see I told you it was from that lab” when there was no evidence of that whatsoever, and they just ‘had a feeling’ that it was ‘all a bit suspect’, is akin to me claiming I knew that a dice would land on a six before I threw it.
