Thank you very much for your perspective. I think I am colored by the
fact that I accidentally got stuck in sweden during a bit part of
corona, which had the worlds least restrictive corona policy.

To the great anger of politicians and doomsayers alike, Anders Tegnell,
swedens corona general responded with "We don't know, let's wait and
see, let's not overreact" for pretty much the entire thing.

I think that is perhaps why most people in sweden I know now lost
interested and just moved on, except for a few edge cases who still get
sick and continue with isolating themselves (my neighbours for instance
seems to never have got the message so it is sad to see how he still
isolates himself).

I am absolutely 100% convinced that most, if not all, the worlds super
powers are engaging in lethal research on all kinds of viruses, cloning
and genetic engineering as we speak.

Did it come from a lab? The fact that china was stalling has moved me
firmly into the "plausible" camp.

Best regards,
