Do you use hats, shirts, knives, or tools? Probably not.
 
Do you think the covid epidemic just coincidentally started within
walking distance of the Wuhan bat virus research lab? Probably so.

So I'm supposed to believe the proximal cause was a lab leak not only of
a known-dangerous virus, but very likely a _genetically engineered_ and
weaponized virus designed by an antagonistic foreign power...

It hit Chinese people, and wrecked the Chinese economy, so it wasn't
any useful sort of weapon. It was a lab mistake.

It's not the first nasty virus brewed in a lab that had bad protocols.

defense, and just ensure the restaurants stay open at all costs?

I recall a lot of stuff being done. Lockdowns, distancing, masking
several vaccines developed.
