My initial reaction was to disagree with you, Bruce, because it is very possible to err to far on the side of better-safe-than-sorry, and some folks will soon be asking for a better-safe-than-sorry two-week lockdown every November or December.
But I've come around to agree with you. A two-weeks-to-end-this was feasible, with full information from China, in December 2019 or even January 2020 but March 2020 was way too late, as you say. Two weeks became two years and one could argue we prolonged precious few lives by locking down and coercing injections because we waiting and watched.
I agree with you that the lab is the most defensible source, that Fauci knew about it, and that his failure to recommend containing it earlier was an act of saving face.
