I know we always want to know how but really at this point I don't really care if it was bats or some resident evil shit where it leaked from a lab.

The latest news assertion about Covid being possibly a lab leak comes from DOE.
For those unaware, DOE doesn't just deal with simply energy. They have one of the most sophisticated research programs in the world, and its security clearance is just under those for Presidents and Speaker of the House.
So, when they find something that leads to one theory, it's not done lightly.

in 1 scenario, it's scary ala a movie scenario where this got leaked by a lab
in the other scenario, it's scary ala a movie scenario where a naturally occurring mutation crossed over from animals to humans...
knowing our luck it's somehow both

The “low confidence” is not about their findings. It’s about the fact that they do not have cooperation from the Chinese government to provide them with data that can increase their statistical confidence level. But their data is pointing toward lab leak.
In a less scientific jargon way to understand this is “given the available but limited data, we believe it’s more likely a lab leak than a natural act of God.”
Instead of trying to convince yourself of the flaws in this report, think deeper about what it really means. And who this is coming from. This is DOE. Their research scope goes anything from regular daily life stuff to DARPA militarily research. This is not an organization that take their decisions lightly or easy to manipulate.

This plays conveniently into the anti Chinese rhetoric that the US has been spewing since the trump era. That being said, I’m pretty sure all nations have these labs that are studying viruses to see if they can weaponize them. I remember a book called the monkey house? Or something to that nature where the US released a version of Ebola (luckily it only killed monkeys) to the wild.
So for sure not out the realm of possibilities.

In my opinion, if it’s lab leak, it’sa combination of multiple things.
US is involved in a way that they were funding the research program. There are things that are too controversial to be run in the USA. One of the thing being “gain of functions” of easily transmissible viruses.
China doesn’t want to be seen as the source of a big pandemic. Especially given what they did at first to contain the knowledge about it. Xi is too proud to allow such a scandal to taint his reputation. Which wasn’t great to start with. Too much face saving effort has gone into it.

I have a nagging feeling US funded virus research in Wuhan because it was too dangerous or unethical to do on mainland USA. Then the chinese fucked up and let it leak. China can't admit their incompetence, and US can't admit their unethical funding of dangerous research, hence the early narrative that it was from a bat at a market.
Just my random thoughts with no real basis of evidence

Going out today, still lots of people wearing masks. People over 60, almost all of them (especially women, saw a few older men without masks). Under 60, most men didn't have masks, a lot of women did. My wife and sister both kept wearing theirs on while commuting on the bus and MTR but that's it. All store employees, bus drivers, etc all still wore masks. Crazy!
This also proves that the mandate should have been removed months ago, as a ton of people would still wear their mask without it. Just so fucking dumb that they kept it this long.
Not sure what it was like there in BC, but I think it'll take a few weeks for people here to get used to not having to wear them. Also to some, it feels "safer" which, fair enough. We all know they can protect from covid and flu by about 10-20% indoors. So it's personal preference; I just hope they're not making their kids wear them still.

There's still quite a few people wearing masks on Canada Line when I commute to downtown... and around Richmond randomly.
I feel tempted to be honest on the train, I swear to myself every time I hear someone sniffling or hacking.
