It's a bit weird to jump to "flamethrowers in the jungle" instead of "second-generation vaccines", isn't it?

It's definitely able to get into animals. That's been known since nearly the beginning; quite a few zoos lost animals to it. Lab leak or not doesn't really change that calculus at all.

I mean, we sorta went right to "lock down the entire economy" so I figure that's the next logical step. I personally feel both measures are a bit of a overeaction. Preparing for a endemic seasonal disease like the flu is more sensible to me, with a focus on early detection and treatment.
