Sars-Cov-2 entered humans in the Wuhan wild animal market

mercredi 17 août 2022 à 00:33

A team of scientists concludes that Sars-Cov-2 almost certainly entered humans in the wild animal market in Wuhan.

I think the question of how the virus started infecting humans is interesting, but not morally important. Its importance is only to affect precisely what we might learn about how to prevent future epidemics.

It could be that we already know the crucial lessons for preventing pandemics from starting from wild animals, and for preventing pandemics from starting from lab leaks, and all we need not is to put them into practice. Regardless of which path this virus followed, we know both dangers exist.
