Haven't read the whole thread so it might have been bought up before. I will post here since this forum seem to be more rational then somewhere like reddit.
Been thinking about the wuhan lab theory and something is bothering me. For sake of argument, assuming it is true that the virus did leak from the lab but was from a natural source, aka the "lab leak doesn't mean man made" argument. That means the bat they got it from must already got the virus in covid form. That leads to the following observations:
1. There is a cave full of bats with sars-cov2 out there somewhere. It should be easy to find based on the past travel history of the researchers. It could be used to create a cover up story about how the virus was original from there. Also the government should really eliminate those bats to prevent covid spread.
2. The virus must already have contact with intermediary that lead it to mutate to a form that can be spread to human, meaning there are other animal out where at the location that can spread covid. They should be eliminated too.
3. The place must be somewhat to human, in order for the researcher to be able to find it. That means there are even more risk of someone accidentally come in contact with it. That means potential for covid outbreak at any moment, In fact, there would be more that one path in the original spread. Also even more reason to really lock the place down, in case someone accidentally bump into some bat and get a new variant.
I just haven't seen those points being discussed when the wuhan lab spread theory being bought up.
