They've still not proven it didn't come from the wet market.

China has an interesting situation going on here.  If it came from the wet
market, their lab is not at fault but they are told they shouldn't have wet
markets.

If it is proven it didn't come from a wet market, they can go back to
having those disease spreading places again.  My guess is they would still
deny it came from their lab (remember, their theory was that it came from
"an enemy"), so that might actually be a win-win for them.

 (1) Gemini is AI, which means you shouldn't trust its interpretation of
the news -- something we've been discussing;
 (2) if Gemini *is* correct, that means they are more likely to find a
cure, which should make your cost of eggs go *down*.

Nothing you've posted above indicates that they are researching the
weaponization of the virus.  Trump is in charge now, and certainly he would
*never* allow such a thing, right?

If they don't research it, there will never be a cure aside from killing
the birds.  If that is the only cure, your cost of eggs (and chicken meat)
will never go down.
