If something has become crystal clear with COVID is that there are secondary effects or unintended consequences coming from biological experimentation that could affect our life greatly.

In the same way as Wuhan's lab relationship with bats and COVID, there is a relationship between a laboratory that was experimenting with chimpanzees and viruses 30 kms near the origin of AIDS.

Playing at home could pose existential risk to society at large. You will have the best of intentions,like probably the Wuhan people had,but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

They were not played at home. They were not amateurs. But, as you can see at 1:04 (see soldier in background), first responders just cracked bio-laboratories and stole equipment after blast, because they are "checking building for fire" (поетажная проверка на загорание).
