I saw someone point out today that to a French speaker “ChatGPT” reads like “Cat, I farted” (« Chat, j’ai pété ») and now that is what I am going to think of every time I see it mentioned.

Understanding how and where the SARS-COV-2 virus, the virus that causes covid-19, started is incredibly important in being better prepared for future epidemics and pandemics.

Investigation into the origin of the outback is ongoing and explores:

* A breach (error) in biosafety or biosecurity in Labs working with similar viruses.

At the present time no firm conclusion has been reached.
