Allegations/rumors have surfaced about scientists doing "gain of function" testing on bat viruses in Wuhan.
- Some of the results from Chinese & US scientists have appeared in peer-reviewed journals (so it is claimed)

Are we in a serious-enough situation that there is a general international willingness to ban "gain of function" testing?
- Or is this something which is too hard to verify?
- Or will the process of defining what is banned be used by the crazies as a recipe to do precisely what is banned?
        - And just create more plagues that spread around the globe?
- Or is this something which we really need to keep doing, to protect ourselves from new viruses?
