  1. Well, it’s still a, “What if?” at this point, so? . . . Ultimately, it’s meaningless to policy and policy makers. Keep digging and find the origins, by all means, for sure. But the mere fact that the Chinese will continue being secretive and uncooperative tells investigators very little from which we can infer anything. This story only becomes truly meaningful when we get a conclusive answer, or are forced to draw a line and identify the blockage preventing us from getting to the truth. I don’t doubt the full program will have value, explaining a lot about the science and procedures for tracing a pandemic back to its source, so it will be educational; especially for those thinking about the broader political ramifications. But ultimately, it’s a none-issue until we know something for sure.
