These days, if you can’t accept even the possibility that the COVID-19 virus leaked from a lab at the Wuhan Institute for Virology in China, then you’re probably the conspiracy theorist.
Funny how things have changed.
The latest development in the greatest mystery of our time are reports that scientists who were working on novel coronaviruses at Wuhan were the first people to fall ill with COVID-19.
That’s a pretty important clue right there. Even Inspector Clouseau couldn’t miss that one.
When future generations read about the pandemic and see that Wuhan was ground zero for the virus; that there was a lab there that was messing with coronaviruses, and that scientists there were the first to get COVID-19, they’re going to wonder how any of us missed the connections.
Unless for some reason we didn’t want to see the connections.
Look at the utter destruction wrought by the virus, starting with the millions who died of or with COVID-19.
That’s millions of lives cut short, millions of still-grieving families and loved ones. Millions of empty seats around dinner tables.
There’s no replacing those lives or the time that others lost by being laid up in the hospital or otherwise sick with the virus.
And there’s no replacing the businesses that failed during the pandemic, thanks in part to draconian lockdown measures that were often needlessly restrictive and almost comically non-sensical (remember those “Cuomo Combos?”).
There’s no making it up to workers who were fired because they refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine, even if those workers had recovered from the virus and could rely on some measure of immunity.
There’s also no replacing the years of education lost by millions of students who were forced to sit in their homes, stare vacantly at their computers and “learn remotely.” If they even logged on at all, that is.
We continue to pay for those years of needlessly stunted learning with lower math and reading scores. Some kids will never make up for…
