I think the way in which we prevent lab made viruses to break free is fundamentally different from how prevention of a spill over would need to be done. Because it causes problems at the exact opposite ends of the chain of events. The first couldn't be more detached and isolated from nature, while the other happens if hygience and mixing of species is sloppily disregarded. This is a challenge if both sites are right next to each other of course. |

Evidence of lab negligence should not become a reason to neglect or defund research and prevention about animal spillover risks. Unfortunately, the two problem classes are synergic rather than mutually exclusive.
