I say will never know the CCP have swept it away for definite answers and the WHO are taking their word as there is no longer solid evidence. There is enough breadcrumbs for speculation. What accelerated the concept of not investigating this was trump, Iām sure the CIA etc would have briefed him on this evidence and he came out blaming China.
I donāt think this was a malicious leak of the virus but an accident. If it was a weapon we would all be dead thatās the scary part. It does raise an ethical question on the research into viruses. Do we do it to preempt a natural mutation and tackle it then or stop because human error can occur like probably happened here.
Hopefully MnRa technology kicks on and eliminates this risk in future. We have made a massive jump in medical science with it and itās possible uses will be world changing
If you liken last year and a half to a world war then I wonder will be see similar advances in virus technology as we saw in aviation technology over WW2.
I wonder will other infectious diseases be much reduced simply due to a new focus on hand hygiene, not going to work if sick and social distancing
Also a big help will be people will realise the importance of personal health. Staying relatively fit, not getting obese and other lifestyle choices like smoking.
As an aside, in principle the mythical Travel Advisory Group should be seeing this and under their terms be introducing quarantine for travel from the UK.
This obviously wonāt happen which once again shows the quarantine regime was a Donnelly led sop to the Zero-Covid aligned elements of the electorate and not a serious policy.
