>Further support for this is the fact that the Wuhan BSL-4 virology lab was already actively looking into the risks posed from bat coronaviruses, and actively researching coronavirus treatments - by definition both of these projects would require live virulent strains of coronavirus.
Yeppers.
The first thing they did is examine humans living near some the SL-Cov bat viri that showed the greatest likelyhood of crossing directly to humans.
They found antigens to these viri in <2% of the population, and those positive could not say that they had been ill.
They were absolutely looking at giving these Sars Like SL-Covs the ability to enter cells bu binding to ACE2.
I've always said this release was a typical communist government SNAFU, and that the ChiComs were likely looking to have SARS varient vaccines available, as one receives no long term immunity from SARS by contracting it.
