Unlikely
Guess how many virus interact and spread every day in a wet market
One, dozens, millions?
Trillions?
About 10 to the 10-30 range
Combination of viruses? No, how did the variants since alpha form? Delta, omicron, Oh wait lab leak, got us there

2003
What happened?
Coronavirus
19?
No
SARs
No
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.

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

No, not a lab, it's been a threat and concern for decades cause it happened before

Apparently virus jumping from species to species isn't taught
Considering it already happened in 03 with SARS and most Americans don't know

The lab leak theory ignores every variant since, was omicron delta beta ect all also separate lab leaks?

Unfortunately for that theory no, we do know
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715
We have actual research on the ground from the actual wet market it spread from
COVID-19 was some magic mutant only a lab could make, look at every variant since, that's what natural evolution looks like, it spreads mutates, jumps species
That this is still rocket science to the public after three years it's freaking insane
But if the public wants to believe whatever conspiracy theory they want than what's the worse could happen again

"Fauci, mainstream" ah yes right wing buzzwords from those sooooooo concerned about COVID they blocked any efforts to fight the pandemic no matter how small.
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715
We know how and where COVID-19 came from
Also.... Did China release new batches around the world for each new variant? Oh wait invisible data destroyed allegedly according to those with no political schemes

Unfortunately people will study conspiracy tv theories rather than actual scientific articles

We know where it came from, the coronavirus (es) r among the most common natural pathogens and cross species contamination ( wet markets) encourage them to jump into new vectors and pandemic. It's been an obvious concern for decades, it happened before in China but everyone in the west forgot about. Therefore pandering them with creative lies works well on them.

To test how malleable an undereducated public is to propaganda -the polling
To prevent or contain it happening again -the objective

Reply to [OC] Bank failures come in waves by pranshum
I'm interest rate drops strangled bank revenues, the 80s is the worst as that was their peak and largest basis point drop per decade in modern history
It's how the worst failures weren't at the worst points of the decade ie the bottoms of those decades/ crisis, but later as rates fell massively or sat near zero for years.

No, if we did nothing the payout would be 85 percent of expected in about 12 years then sit there as the demographics normalize, boomers temporarily drawing it down for next few decades, then levels out
Those who say ss is going broke r scam artists trying to privatize SS and lower taxes for the rich, and those who listen to them in the right wing world who parrot it
