lab experiment gone bad. trying to create a vaccine in the lab and a monster got loose.....
...and obviously not a natural monster. I couldnt figure out at first (even posted on FReerepublic) my recollection from Med School was Coronavirus are wimpy virus. My texts even said. Coronavirus are a small family of virus that are THOUGHT TO BE OF NO CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE. Apparently somewhere around 2000 researchers discovered ways to manipulate the virus to produce a Gain of Function. Curiously about the same time Wuhan started having outbreaks every two years, which the world always took to be Chinas problem and so it was ignored.
