Pandemie COVID-19 se m\u011b p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 nedotkla.

N\u011bkte\u0159\u00ed p\u0159edn\u00ed v\u011bdci v USA i jinde si nejprve kladli ot\u00e1zku, zda je pouhou n\u00e1hodou, \u017ee se koronavirus objevil pr\u00e1v\u011b ve Wuhanu, kde laborato\u0159 prov\u00e1d\u011bla experimenty se ziskem funkce. Byli si v\u011bdomi toho, \u017ee bezpe\u010dnost v laborato\u0159i ve Wuhanu nebyla p\u0159\u00edsn\u00e1. N\u00e1sledn\u011b se v\u0161ak rozhodli zd\u016fraznit teorii, \u017ee virus je p\u0159irozen\u00fdm produktem evoluce, nikoli laboratorn\u00edm konstruktem, a \u017ee byl p\u0159enesen ze zv\u00ed\u0159at na \u010dlov\u011bka. Navzdory sv\u00fdm p\u016fvodn\u00edm pochybnostem to pova\u017eovali za nezbytn\u00e9, „vzhledem k tomu, jak\u00fd pr\u016fser by nastal, kdyby n\u011bkdo \u010c\u00ed\u0148any v\u00e1\u017en\u011b obvinil by\u0165 jen z n\u00e1hodn\u00e9ho uvoln\u011bn\u00ed“, jak p\u0159iznal jeden z v\u011bdc\u016f.
