I haven’t had much to say about the Wuhan laboratory question because all I know about secretive infectious disease labs is from watching Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain sci-fi thriller fifty years ago.

But it increasingly seems as if the paranoia of Andromeda Strain might be relevant:

"They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the [US] Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work."
