Understanding where this came from is important to preventing future outbreaks.

It's no secret there are labs around the word doing what amounts to amplifying the effects of various virus's to find out how bad bad can be, and to try to find a way to defend against it. This isn't always part of a weapons program, sometimes it's actually funded by the NIH.

If it ends up having inadvertently coming out of a lab, we need to know that. This isn't rw racist fever ranting. It's science.
