“This shouldn’t happen”: Inside the virus-hunting nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance

I think it's important that we don't, in under any circumstances seek punishment here (if there are culprits). This is too politically charged and complex for that. But we can work to make sure this doesn't happen again (it could be worse next time).

Steal a purse, get jailed, kill millions of people, and walk scot-free?

If you do it accidentally, yes. The reason our airlines are so safe is that even if a lethal crash is due to the error of a pilot or mechanic we don't try to punish them but instead try to improve our systems so that it doesn't happen in the future.

We do punish mechanics and airlines who cause crashes through financially-motivated negligence, though.

Yeah, too complex just like the banking crisis of 2008. Let's just bail 'em out... /s
