I remember viral videos of big halls and hallways full of spastic people strapped into their beds. I still wonder sometimes what that was all about. Who had an interest in spreading such videos? What outcome did they hope for / get?

Maybe it was a poor attempt at trying to spur action without saying more than they were "allowed" to?

To me the whole idea of "China knew" is an oversimplification. Even if it was a lab leak, given the insane stakes, I can't imagine a majority of the Chinese government, or even a sizable portion of their own government would ever learn that.

People in China may have known and tried to do "something" without being able to outright say what the world (and even their own country's people) was about to be dealing with
