Others have been infected in the past if not months before the most recent Coronavirus was first reported.

I assuredly can blame Republicans on there absolutely horrible means of handling this Pandemic. Our nation was one of the worst to handle this pandemic, if not the worst.

There were so many times the previous Republican administration suppressed, hid or mismanaged it. Hell, Jared Kushner's team did some of worst heinous things:

"Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner's team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. "The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy."

And you conveniently left out the part the NIH reported:

NIH chief Francis Collins insists none of the bat viruses studied under this grant could “possibly have caused the COVID-19 pandemic.”

So yes I very much am blaming the party in charge of actually trying to do the worst job possible to manage the pandemic that killed over 600K Americans.

And not just the previous administration many Republicans who are anti-mask and more still are to blame.
Regardless of whether it was the origin of COVID, there are labs in developed countries who are tinkering with viruses not to make weapons but in an attempt to understand them better and to defend against them better

It is inevitable that occasionally due to accident or unforeseen circumstances these will end up getting out

We had the Chernobyl disaster and the entire world took notice and took steps to prevent another one. Then Fukushima happened anyway
