The only issue here is that lab safety protocols may have to be tightened up in the lab responsible. Scientists mutate things in the lab all the time in order to have a tool for effective study. If this came from a lab, then it would be the same thing (not some sort of weapon, like the hysterical Right wants people to believe).

Most believe that it didn't, but rather that it was in the human population a few months before we knew. But maybe not.

i'm curious what you would add to biosafety level 4 to tighten it up?

Eliminate or reduce the hazard is the most effective measure.

A commonly used hierarchy is "ERICPD", from most to least effective: Eliminate, Reduce, Isolate, Control, PPE and Discipline
