Researchers’ tests of lab-made version of Covid virus draw scrutiny
Whether natural or escaping from a lab, I fully expect a mass casualty disease in my lifetime. We saw what a shitshow covid was, and it wasn&#x27;t even <i>that</i> bad.<p>Fast global travel is spreading the endemic ranges of many diseases and make it essentially impossible to stop many diseases depending on the traits of the disease.<p>A potential lab leak of many types of diseases is more of a threat and will likely kill more people than a limited nuclear deployment. At least with the nuclear issue someone has to push the button. With the lab leak it&#x27;s almost a certainty that equipment will fail in some unprecedented way, or someone will absent-mindedly violate protocol. It&#x27;s a lot harder to keep track of a microbe than a warhead.
