Given that mutations occur, it's only a matter of time before a disease that's catastrophic for humanity leapt from animals to humans, and then it would be up to humanity to mitigate the spread and severity of the outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics that would ensue.
These events, known as zoonotic events, have happened countless times over human history. Contact between humans and chimpanzees is what led to HIV first appearing in humans.
Animal farming with pigs and birds has led to the pandemics of swine and bird influenzas. The idea that SARS-CoV-2 originated in animals and then leapt to humans isn't an exotic explanation; it should be the default hypothesis.
When an animal has contact with a human, or when a human eats an animal or an animal bites or Although most such interactions are benign, such as this one, human-animal contact has been the main culprit for the origin of novel diseases. The alternative consideration is that this virus was created. This has a germ of truth, in the sense that humans have been "creating" novel organisms through genetic engineering for many years.
Typically, this involves inserting genetic sequences that encode some structure, function, or protein into an organism, or otherwise altering its genome to produce a desired result.
Despite the scientific benefits of learning how flu viruses adapt to humans and cause pandemics, as well as the potential of increasing vaccine stockpiles, this research has been highly controversial for fear of weaponization. The science of what can be done in virology, with modern techniques, is quite impressive.
But what the conspiracy attests must have happened reaches far beyond the capabilities of even the most advanced research teams in the world. The first red flag that should leap out at you, but perhaps only if you have some knowledge of virology to begin with, is the very idea that you could "know" what certain mutations would do — i. The SARS virus orange has a crown-like structure, meaning that its part of the coronavirus family The new virus, COVID, is another example of a coronavirus, and is currently the largest, most lethal new epidemic to hit planet Earth in more than a decade.
However, the orange color shown is completely false; COVID and any other coronavirus would not look like this at all to our eyes. This means, right off the bat, that if SARS-CoV-2 were engineered for the purpose of infecting and severely harming humans, it would have had to have been tested in at least hundreds of human subjects in order for scientists to know how effective it was.
While we do have the ability to manipulate the genomes of viruses, or any other organism, for that matter, what we don't have the ability to do is to know how that will translate into effects of the virus in human or any living subjects.

He said many Republicans have stuck their necks out to support immigration reform. He was cautious about whether legislation can pass, noting that no bill has been written. One surprise in the speech may be how little time is devoted to fiscal policy — the looming automatic spending cuts known as the sequester, the continuing resolution to fund the government, and the need to raise the debt ceiling.
Analysts said that Democrats are just not going to engage Republicans, who are threatening to allow the across-the-board cuts to take place in early March and possibly shutting down the government later that month when the resolution running the government expires. Holtz-Eakin bristled at this suggestion. Experts generally say that a president has a short window in the first two years to make an impact before he becomes a lame duck. After a catastrophic Black Friday, Galasso announced that he was firing the entire Shortpacked!
The employees responded by revolting, locking Galasso up in the store's stockroom and putting Ethan in charge. Ethan was initially able to keep things run surprisingly well, nudging the store back into profitability despite an attack from the Axis of Something. But when Duncan confronted him about his decision to keep the increasingly unstable Galasso imprisoned, Ethan suffered a heroic Blue Screen of Death that temporarily shut the strip down.
When things booted back up, he discovered he was locked in the manager's tower. Robin proposed to fill this new power vacuum with a good, old-fashioned clothes-ripping all-hands brawl.
Unfortunately, Galasso was able to escape in the general melee and finally made good on his threat of canning the store team. This time, unemployment was relatively short, as Leslie managed to convinced Galasso to re-hire everybody for the all-new, all-improved Shortpacked! Around this time, the arrival of new hire Jacob , a Marvel fan, gave DC fanboy Ethan entirely new opportunities to get into pissy nerdfights. One night, Ethan decided it was time to return to his routes and seized the stage at a local comedy club to deliver an impromptu stand-up set with Batman jokes, naturally.
He found an appreciative audience, but none more so than Manny , a good-natured heckler who asked Ethan for his phone number. Following the show, Ethan and Manny got to talking, and would have gone out for coffee if not for a harebrained Robin scheme involving a Walmart Prostitute. In an effort to get Ethan back into circulation, Robin and Leslie not-so-secretly set him up with an online dating profile. After weeding out potential suitors , they landed on Drew , a self-professed bisexual geek with a strong resemblance to Gail Simone's Catman.
Their relationship initially went well at least if all the superhero dress-up sex games were any indicator , but over time Drew became more and more vocal about his issues with Ethan's obsessive toy collecting. Ethan initially attempted to pare down his habit, but eventually snapped, accusing Drew of trying to change a fundamental part of who he was. Drew responded by suggesting that they take some time apart.
Sometime thereafter, Ethan reconnected with Manny at a stand-up gig, and the two started formally dating. With increasing success as a comedian, Ethan eventually made the decision to quit his retail job at Shortpacked! He's currently living with Manny, a domestic bliss that was only slightly interrupted when Robin and Leslie showed up out of the blue asking for sperm samples.
And not just for Batman. Ethan was Amber O'Malley 's best friend growing up, and acted as her "interpreter" to the outside world. The two were in the school band together, although Ethan didn't really make much of a musical contribution. Amber carried a significant torch for Ethan throughout high school; the two went to prom together, and attempted to have sex afterwards, but Ethan seems to have encountered some Amber subsequently helped Ethan come out to his parents, but her unrequited affections eventually drove a wedge between them.
He also knew Mike Warner growing up, and knew him well enough not to room with him in college. This may be one of the few good decisions Ethan has made to date. Ethan and Mike forcibly tear Amber away from her computer so the three of them get lunch. Amber takes this less than graciously. Ethan, Mike, and Amber share an awkward lunch together.
Later in the day, Ethan has a meet-cute with Joyce Brown on the elevator, leading Joyce to immediately develop an obsessive crush on him. Ethan and Mike stop by Amber's room in the late afternoon. She blows them off in favor of WoW, having accidentally slept through a scheduled guildmeet earlier in the day after her roommate, Dina , got dragged off to the beach. Ethan admits to Mike that he's depressed about his situation. Mike suggests that he should have just stayed in closet, telling him, "Sure, you'd be living a lie and having unfulfilling sex, but you wouldn't be living this miserable, isolated existence with some blond asshole as your only friend.
