 I'm now about 2/3 of the way through that book and it seems that the
Chinese were doing 'gain of function research' (which translates into
'how can we make this coronavirus MORE infectious and thus more
dangerous' research) with a fair amount of cooperation from US
researchers despite numerous broken Chinese promises on lab access.

As you know, Bob, this research is done in
a context where the virus itself is already
evolving like that in the natural world,
and you want to find out what that will
do, first.
In this case, that seems to have not helped,
much.

The author is making a fairly strong case for the 'lab leak' theory
rather than deliberate release - thus culpable manslaughter not
murder.
