If the purpose of any investigation is to determine how the virus originated with the aim of the prevention of future outbreaks it is to be lauded. However, if where becomes the focal point to assign blame and to point the finger to stir and stoke public outrage it is simply base in intent. The upside is that there is considerable research into airborne viruses.

Lots of people arguing things I have zero credentials to weigh or consider so I simply don't get involved in it. IDC where it came from. I sort of care what it does to us but not to my specific health. It can kill me. I'm now okay with that.

They don't really care where it originated as long as they have someone to blame it on. That is what conservatism is all about: translating fear into hate.

Most of the Republicans I encounter online are illiterate, never made it out of their hometown, don't understand what evidence is or how facts are established and have zero understanding of expertise because none of them have any. As a result, they have no regard for the truth. Never trust a Republican.
