Wuhan Lab - Covid

[newusername]

Is there much doubt left that the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute?

It's now come out that they infact were doing gain of function research in the lab on coronavirus in a BSL 2!!! That means it's the same level of safety as your dentists.

I'm not reading the whole thread so this may have been responded to, but in the UK pre-pandemic it would be worked on in a BSL3 facility but I know that the Government has certified that it can be worked on in BSL2 facilities.

Not my area of expertise but in basic terms, BSL2 there are bio safe cabinets in the lab within which you can work on it safely, BSL3 the lab is bio safe. The processes should be same, so it should be as hard for a virus to escape either situation & get into the wild.

I don't know what processes dentists are up to but I would be surprised if their facilities were BSL2, given the BSL2 labs I've been in still have mechanical ventilation, "air-lock" doors etc, I'd think it would be more of a reflection on how they sterilise implements and treat their biological waste.

You're smileys unfortunately betray just how upset you are. I'm sorry for my part in that.

There is evidence the cretin comment was just for @BoroMart because I like him. He knows and gets this and gave me some straight back.

Now off with you I'm currently smashing out a gym session so say what you will, if you wish to believe you win go ahead.

I don't think anyone wins in this one. You just embarrass yourself by presenting crackpot theories as 'evidence' that was my point.

Dentists seem to be doing the opposite; enhanced ventilation to the outside.

Again not my words the words of the CDC director in his interview. BSL 2 equivalent of going to the dentist.

Maybe it means they run out of the room whenever they do an x-ray.

I really don't, you embarass yourself every time you type.

Every time you're involved in a discussion you end up with people telling you as well and you learn nothing. It's fine you keep waddling through life the way you are I still have love for you.

Telling me what. Just pointing out that when you have one of your crazy theories try not to believe your word is gospel. Even if you do, try not to then get upset when people question your "evidence" try and realise we aren't all crazy conspiracy theorists on here

Have you actually linked to this interview yet. I may have missed it. I'd like to here it as I feel I have a few questions

Way too much personal abuse in this thread. I know it's an emotive subject and you may think some views are abhorrent ... but other posters are entitled to differ.

A couple of you need to cool off.
