Eric Walker added Re-upping @alisonannyoung US labs reported 450+ accidents spanning 2015-2019 involving some of the world’s most dangerous pathogens subject to federal regulation because they “pose a severe threat”.

Eric Walker added I do not know the full story, only that flu 1977 was a leak of some sort. Leaks happened at least 4-6 times with SARS1. An accidental leak at WIV, where many coronaviruses were studied in P2 or P3 conditions, is more likely than a natural origin for which no evidence was found. to Outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, Laboratory accidents and 2002 SARS outbreak
