Morning Merry Xmas to All.
Gain of Function is likely to be the Answer.
If they need to do this work should be done in the North Pole with the top of the line Bio labs with a medical centre and Bio medical staff.

Politicians trying to score brownie-points instead of putting their effort into protecting people.

If someone makes a serious accusation, of course you investigate and task someone with the job. How does Jim Jordan manage to turn that common sense into something wrong? Starting an investigation is not an admission of anything.

If something is funded through an EPPP program, just because EPPP and GoF programs overlap doesn't not mean that EPPP funding is wrong because it wan't applied for as a GoF funding. Rand Paul is not making sense but he is making a lot of obfuscating noise. When somebody isn't prepared to listen to the reply, they know their argument is weak.

Where are the equivalent investigations into the billions of genomic mutations caused by nuclear leaks (intentional or unintentional)? We don't even attempt biological isolation in many radioactive places. The sheer numbers of mutations that happen means it is only luck that a dangerous disease has not been created and propagated.

Morning.
History has Shown us that Virus Do Escape From Labatorie`s and with China Refusing entry to WHO and shutting down all lines of enquiry into the cause of the emergence that it did seem likely it was a accidental escape.
Gain of function is Dangerous Work and should be done in a Barran Wasteland thoe No doubt we will have more escape`s as these Funded Organisation`s Pay the Lease amount of money for there work.
With 2 Lab staff being admitted into Wuhan Hospital as well didn't look good.
Myself i believe this Virus was around in October to November as carol singers returning from China to Britain in December had the Virus.
Would China release the Virus on to the World to Cover there Arse instead of locking up there country and Warning the World to Stay Away if had a Accidental Escape ?
