I remember that the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was a lab accident, procedure failed and a lot of bovine were culled and some people died in truly horific ways.
I don't understand why it's so political to say that it's likely that covid may have had a similar start. It happens, it's terrible, it's not helpful when you're directly fighting it to focus your energy on blame but if this was a lab leak, shouldn't we now be focused on tightening regulations on bio-experimentaion in order to reduce the risk of this occurring again? Global treaties on how to approach such research, share procedure to keep everyone safe.
