That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

Firmer policies & enforcement of safety protocols? Informed selection of safety protocols?
These things already happen to an insane degree, which is good. Others are using this argument to either jump to the conclusion that it’s man made or that we should shut down all coronavirus research. There is a clear distinction between these thoughts that are being intentionally blurred by those with an agenda.
We ought to be vigilant about leaping to conclusions or letting biases creep in, and I can’t control others doing that.
Concerns about biosafety standards first caught my notice with this report stating that the laboratory may have been working with coronavirus at biosafety levels as low as 2 and explaining the significance. Questioning the source (even though it seems coherent), I noticed other reports with references seem to corroborate. These laboratories may not be taking the best precautions.
