re: #73 Hecuba’s daughter
The disease could have arisen in nature AND been a lab leak. After all, the lab studies viruses it discovers in nature all the time. Virologists could have brought the disease from another part of the country into the lab for further investigation and then it could have accidentally escaped (no modification to its genetic code) due to an inadvertent mishandling.
Except that didn’t happen. Someone posted the link to a Forbes article yesterday that included demolition of that CT.
