    I hate that this is considered politics. The origin of covid should be a scientific debate. At first I was also confused that lab leak was a right wing conspiracy, but scientifically it does have quite a few things going for it.

      Diseases occur naturally, new diseases occur naturally. We know the first cases were in Wuhan China. There are a number of theories on how “patient 0” became infected. (Bat to human transfer, lab grown, pig to human, other dead animal to human) But patient 0 is not even known, early COVID spread extremely fast and a source cannot be pinpointed. Knowing the exact source could help with prevention of future new diseases (shutting down wet markets or closing labs). But with the speed of the spread, death rate, and chaos it brought, it will likely never be known.

      “Will someone pay.” Without knowing an exact source we don’t know if a human is at fault or if there was just the perfect storm of natural events. mRNA vaccines are a new technology that was fast tracked thanks to COVID. As a society we will benefit from its ability to develop new vaccines faster. Many nations/regions were forced to reevaluate their disaster relief plans because of COVID. If a future event occurs the lessons learned from COVID should help mitigate.

    This timeline hasn’t been correct since Harambe was murdered. We need to get the sports almanac back from Biff.

      I’m not really sure what you’re getting at?

      Does it help MAGA idiots because it makes them feel like they’re sticking it to China?

      In reality of course it’s childish and is the international diplomatic equivalent of throwing ones own poo at your more sophisticated opponent, into the wind, up hill, when you have the runs.
