NBAF -- the upgraded version of Plum Island -- opened in Manhattan, KS this week.

“I don’t understand why you’d put a facility like that in the middle of a highly productive cattle and crops area,”

(I didn't get it either when the location was selected, and I was a biological weapons analyst at the time. Bad judgment.)

The decision to put NBAF “in the middle of livestock country and tornado alley was real hubris”

A strong opinion piece arguing against a lab origin for the -CoV-2 .
The authors provide quite an extensive review of the arguments in the discussion.
I agree that we should focus efforts on studying if we want to prevent further pandemics.

Résumons : la grippe aviaire H5N1 en Sud-Ouest (Landes, Gers, Pyrénées Atlantique débouchant sur des abattages préventifs de centaines de milliers de canards), la brucellose en Haute-Savoie sur les vaches à Reblochon, et maintenant, la grippe porcine H1N1 en Bretagne ; les concentrations d'animaux d'élevages favorisent les pestes. Mais pas touche à l'élevage, ce mauvais tournant pris au Néolithique.
