Anyone else regularly have this overwhelming feeling that, whether it was a lab leak, or something at that wet market, if ONE, just ONE person hadn't screwed up, maybe none of this would have ever happened?
Sometimes I feel like it's some kind of absurd dream that all depends on that ONE mistake or incident, and if it had not happened, all of this wouldn't be real.

- We don't know how it originated but what's more likely? It happened from one freak event...or there was a virus already circulating in animals, and during theyuekit
- millions of interactions between humans and animals it finally crossed over to humans. The second scenario is inherently more likely but it also means there wasyuekit
