1. Difference between natural spillover vs. accidental leak of natural form that was under study

Seem fairly academic, apart from the need to increase oversite and safety measures in virus labs.

I thought the 'purposefully weaponized' scenario had been eliminated as a possibility long ago, and I've not seen anything saying that's changed, but maybe I missed it.



Edit: The possibility that it was neither natural, nor weaponized, but rather a third case where a 'gain of function' sample that was under study that accidentally got released is probably pretty useful to know, however.
