Any liberal tears you see will be my own. I'm not happy about the situation, not do I see it to be either right or left leaning. I think we would all want the same thing, which is for scientists to exercise some restraints in not creating super viruses which may accidently get released upon a population. You do want that too right?
As far as
@hanimmal being concerned about a lab explosion in Russia, I'm fairly certain that the heat from the blast would immediately kill all viruses in proximity, however I could be wrong about that -- I'm willing to accept alternate possibilities here, nothing has yet been proven.
