It's probably best if lay people focused on their families and their work and their general well being, however, I don't know if the best idea is to suppress information, particularly information that is then revealed to be true. It creates a massive distrust in our governing institutions. For instance, I plainly don't trust any of our tech companies at all, nor the government, nor the media with the truth about basically anything. They have all shown they are incapable throughout this pandemic. Not sure having that level of societal disfunction allows people to focus on their families, their jobs, and their general well being. |

I feel maybe you've got some expectations that don't make sense?
If you have symptoms and go to the doctor, she doesn't know the truth of your ills and the sure guaranteed way to cure you. She'll simply apply a vast knowledge set to the possibility of what it could be you have, and what has sometimes work to cure it in the past.
If your expectations are such, then I feel the media, companies and governments institutions have done pretty well.
I don't know where you get your information from, but it's not like the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis is new, it's been reported on plenty of times, so did the wet market hypothetisis, so did the bat one, and even the lab leak from an American base was reported.
Now which one is true, well, again tone your expectations, when have we known the lineage of anything to 100% accuracy? We constantly send people to jail who were innocent even with a full trial. We still have no clue where we come from. There are still people who don't know who their parents are, or even when they were born.
If the virus comes from nature, it'll be pretty hard to be sure where it originated, you could maybe trace the earliest known sighting, but that's it.
If it comes from a man made lab, there's clearly very powerful actors hiding the evidence, so again, that'll be pretty hard to prove unless people just all came clean unambiguously, but even now, it's become so political, would they be forced too, scape goated, or coerced? We'll never know.
I feel people want truths, but the world is made of "best guesses".
So I think we should look at our institutions methodologies instead, could they have guessed better? If so, why they failed to do so? Did they ignore sources of data, did they make assumptions they forgot to attach a confidence against? Were they politically biased? Etc.
