They have happened at some place at some point in the past seems pretty weak to go on. A lot of things have happened in the past, doesn't mean they're all potential causes this time around. Seems to me we need a bit more than we've had bio lab incidents before.

I mean by this measure any time someone crashes a car it could be an assassination attempt. It's happened before.

I didn't mean to say that something like this IS the cause, just that it could be. Right now we don't have enough data and facts to confirm or dismiss either.

What rubs me the wrong way are the people instantly dismissing something like this as unlikely, or even impossible ignoring history.
