Corona Viruses With Pandemic Potential Well Known And In Experimentation Four And A Half Years Ago...

A lab worker in the slipshod operation in Wuhan caught something like this, was probably asymptomatic, as 85% of people are, and then spread it like crazy in that overpopulated super high population density of a place.

If the idiots want to experiment with stuff like this, it should be done in a geographically isolated, remote area, with mandatory 14-day quarantine and testing of everyone going in and out. As usual, people never learn anything until a hellacious catastrophe happens.

Utterly ridiculous. The laboratory precautions against infection are completely adequate,
and there was never an infected worker due to the tiny, carefully tended laboratory
samples at Wuhan. Samples don\'t cough and create aerosols. Samples don\'t
shake your hands. The running of PCR is a bit of unnecessary overhead as regards
laboratory workers, UNLESS there has been some accident.

No accident, no need to do a test.

Wuhan, population 8 million, isn\'t just a laboratory site; it\'s a transportation
hub, and the virus had an entry SOMEWHERE in that vicinity. Not a laboratory.

Wuhan did admit to keeping live strains of coronavirus. They claim they were not SARS-CoV-2, but what they really mean is as far as they know.

You obviously know very little about the situation, it\'s not publicized because it\'s scandalous.

\"In 2014, as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did cleanup for a planned move to a new office, hundreds of unclaimed vials of virus samples were found in a cardboard box in the corner of a cold storage room. Six of them, it turned out, were vials of smallpox. No one had been keeping track of them; no one knew they were there. They may have been there since the 1960s.\"

Regulations of any stripe cannot anticipate how wrong things can go either accidently or intentionally.

Hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of near miss global pandemic incidents....as far as anyone knows.

A Wuhan worker caught the disease somehow and spread it. PCRs are cheap, and it gives testing labs business.

Laboratories certainly know their own inventories.

False. It\'s not publicized because it\'s a big world, with lots of rumors, mostly false, always morphing. The
scandal is that the rumors get too much attention. Your situation awareness is nil, you\'ve got your ear to the rumor mill.

Exactly my point; no one missed them, BUT no one misplaced them, either; they were not removed from cold storage,
they were not infecting workers, and were properly identified during cleanup. Mainly, double-checking is good enough,
but there was a triple check, just in case. That was six years ago, it\'s not as if the triple-check catches things
every week.
