Hey, I agree. I was being sarcastic. While I have no idea whether this came from a lab leak or directly from animals I had adav8s28’s back on this as much as anyone in a previous thread. Bambino and LexusLover thought it was hilarious, the idea that the virus could have come from a bat. Which is confounding because they’re not stupid.
Adav8s28’s line of thinking is similar to most, but not all, virologists who study this.
SARS and MERS probably came from bats. A coronavirus that is 96% similar genetically to COVID 19 has been taken directly from a bat or bat guano. You make the assumption that there’s 100% probability this came from a Chinese lab and you won’t be prepared for the next bat virus epidemic.
It’s not wise to assume this didn’t come from a lab either. There are people out there who know a lot more than any of us who think it did, the former head of the CDC being one.
As you say we don’t know 100% of shit.
