But not the laboratories doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in the exact vicinity of the virus’s origin? Even considering that several workers of this laboratory got sick with COVID in 2019, right before the outbreak? C’mon, it’s been 4 years already, this is becoming ridiculous.
Pandemics need high population densities to start, so it is very likely to have the origin in a large city. Even if a virus did emerge in a smaller city, it would probably fizzle out without raising alarm and being detected. At the same time, large cities in industrialized countries usually have at least one virology lab. I could easily find one in each of the top-10 most populous Chinese cities (which includes Wuhan). SARS is relatively new and hit China pretty hard, so it is also not surprising to have a lot of research in the country. Overall, it would probably be more surprising not to have a SARS research group close to the origin of a pandemic.
You’re linking a study from early 2021, which is before the admissions began to start. The WHO was dishonest throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, at this point in time this is well-known.
The Wuhan Virology Institute is in the heart of the city, and a quick Google search shows a population of 11 million in 2018. Is this not a large city?
I find it seriously troubling that people still believe the nonsense spewed about COVID-19 and it’s origins in 2020-21.
The WIV is 17 miles away from the wet market outbreak and they are on opposite sides of the river. The WIV did not do any gain of function experiments during 2019. Within a 15 mile radius of the WIV there were no covid cases during 2019. If lab workers had been the origin, the outbreak would have started near the lab, but it did not start near the lab.
Well, in the instance of this book, you should follow along with the steps that Bob Nystrom writes for you. From reading it, it’s clear you’re supposed to follow along and write code “with him”. He even outlines exactly where each line of code should go, and explains why along the way.
I find it difficult to understand how you’re still propagating the “Wet Market Theory”. Please further explain why you don’t believe that COVID-19 did not emerge from a laboratory.
During the first month of the covid-19 outbreak, there were no cases within a 15 mile radius of the WIV lab south of the river. Zero. All the people infected had been within 200 meters of the wet market north of the river.
We know that farm-raised animals in China pick up coronavirus infections from wild animals such as rodents. The 2002 SARS epidemic started from natural animal-to-human transmission, in an animal-handling complex, with a naturally occurring coronavirus. If there had been a second outbreak of the same SARS virus in Wuhan in 2019, at the Wuhan wet market, would you decide that the sars-cov-1 came from natural transmission from animals?
When a milkmaid picks up a cowpox infection, do we run around screaming that there's no proof the cows had cowpox? When a person who works with animals develops rabies, do we assume that he was not bitten?

The original "injunction" was put in place by a Trump appointed "judge" as the result of legal action from Republican Attorney Generals in Louisiana and Missouri --- all without any evidence to support the allegation of "coercion".
The right-wing SCOTUS seems to have determined it was a bit too much.
To their credit, yes they did.
The total lack of evidence did not support any such broad injunction. This case should never have made it to the SC docket. The fact it did just reeks of influence peddling and partisan gamesmanship.

An interesting anecdote and counterexample (at least to me): Just yesterday I visited a rather large mall to visit a jeweler for a simple ask, and while standing in the store 3 other jewelers were visible. The jeweler I had visited was unwilling to assist. After visiting two others that were noticed while waiting, I got some help. Was very convenient!
An anecdote: I regularly played Crash Bandicoot with my family while young on a PlayStation, and our device always had disc drive issues. Pretty sure we even went through two PlayStations while playing that game lol. Still loved it!
