Reply to comment by JigglyWiener in [OC] More Americans are believing COVID-19 originated from a lab in China. However, there is still no conclusive evidence to support one theory over another. The topic is highly politicizing both internally (US Political Parties) and externally (US-China relations). by Square_Tea4916

For those not watching the news in 03 coronavirus jumping species into humans and killing contagiously already happened before

SARS was initially present in an as-yet unknown animal reservoir, perhaps bats, and was passed to civet cats, relatives of the mongoose. Evidence shows that as it circulated in the civet cats, it gained mutations that allowed it to cross over into humans in 2002-03. More than 8,000 people worldwide became sick with SARS and 774 died.

Yup. I remember that. It’s happened before, and it will 100% happen again. We just got fucked because of the lack of symptoms for a few days. It really tested the individual’s capacity to sacrifice normal activity because they feel fine right now. It turned out a whole bunch of people I thought were decent folks were only decent until they were inconvenienced.
