Maybe that's why its not crazy to consider conspiracy theories about the nature of this virus. It would be beneficial for humanity in the long term to shift e.g. from cyberwarfare defense spending to biowarfare defense. The side benefits of the first are at best marginal , while a massive shift of investment to biodefense would be life-changing
