Intended slam noted. The mutation of a virus can change many different ways. It is not true that a mutation will always be less dangerous.
As for "proof" of origin, there is no proof it came from a wet market or natural cross species transfer, unless you have something specific showing it most likely wasn't tinkered with in a lab then I am more likely to be correct solely based on a brand new virus breaking out in the neighborhood of the local biological research laboratory that just happened to be studying a super close relative of this virus that wasn't endemic to that area and that was paid to do gain of function on that super close relative of coronavirus and was known to have slipshod safety practices.
You didn't qualify your initial position. You made a declarative statement the virus came from the lab. That's what I responded to. More likely has nothing to do with it. We aren't playing the odds. There is no proof of where COVID came from as you have said so anything neither of us say has no verifying facts.


The post IS humorous to people who don't have a stick up their ass and I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain satire to you.
Posts like this paragraph are a reflection of ones true character and not in a good way. One use of satire is to ridicule what one sees as stupidity. What part of the definition of satire are you using that is constructive to this discussion?

Just the facts, nothing but the facts (referencing the TV show Dragnet if you are not old enough to remember it.
