Check my comment above. More scientists believe it was due to a random mutation (the similarity of the sequence to other bat coronaviruses was extremely similar, and this one was a small change that just happened to be potent), though there are also many scientists who find the wuhan lab more than circumstantial.
The racist connotations about the lab I knew about, but I didn’t think it made it less true.
That being said, I just checked wikipedia:
Most scientists agree that, as with many other pandemics in human history,[1][2][3] the virus is likely derived from a bat-borne virus transmitted to humans via another animal in nature or during wildlife trade such as that in food markets.[11] Many other explanations, including several conspiracy theories, have been proposed.[12][13][14] Some scientists and politicians have speculated that SARS-CoV-2 was accidentally released from a laboratory. This theory is not supported by evidence.[15]
SARS-CoV-2 has close genetic similarity to multiple previously identified bat coronaviruses, suggesting it crossed over into humans from bats

and I think I remember seeing a study that showed the similarity of the sequence to other known sequences and it wasn’t that dramatic a change.
Wait, I’ve been out for a bit - what was the actual consensus on Covid? I genuinely thought there was a Wuhan Lab that this all originated from?
I’m not a nut job, I can be reasoned with, i just need to update my beliefs with new info
How sure are we at this point that the warp core isnt just a bunch of propane?
If it’s more convenient, then what you’re doing isn’t wrong. Everyone has different input systems.
Mine is to email myself notes, and to use subject header as tags for later sorting. At some point I will setup an email scraper to automatically flag and parse these into actual todo lists.
But for now an email to myself just keeps me focused, and it just works!
Because. He killed my kids.
To let others know they can avoid this corporate dreck on their feed too.
Silent protest accomplishes exactly nothing.

doo-doo dododo, doo-doo dododo
Great Buddy Holly song cover.
But no, I’m talking about this series, called Palpito in Spanish:
There’s a great series on Netflix right now called “Heartbeat” or “Poisened Heart” or something (depends on language), and it’s a grizzly drama about murder, Organ harvesting, and a web of underworld seediness, revenge, wrath, high stakes drama etc…
It’s opening theme song is some weak ass “everybody needs good Neighhhbours” type thing that makes no sense whatsoever tonally to the show.
But, but… the contrast of the theme song to the show content is so large that it actually makes the show’s drama look good.
Shaka means “Joke” in Turkish, so I like to believe there are multiple meanings here
First you take their rights, and then you take their rent!
So is he voiced by Tom Paris or not?
Speaking of which, the Ferengi Series Cop Landlords in one of latest episodes, legitimately had me entertained
