O que traz felicidade pra você?
Acredito que a felicidade pode acontecer por muitas vias na vida de uma pessoa. A felicidade tem ligação muito mais com um estado de espírito do que qualquer outra situação. Mas, como disse anteriormente, ” existem muitas vias” que nos permitem viver esse acontecimento. Não podemos ser indiferentes aquilo é motivo de felicidade para o outro, ou para ” os outros”.

How seriously should we take the US DoE’s Covid lab leak theory? | Coronavirus | The Guardian
Dr Filippa Lentzos, a reader in science and international security at King’s College London, said the origin question remained open. “It could well have resulted from a natural spillover, but it could equally be the result of research-related activity, such as a lab leak or fieldwork incident. There simply is no hard evidence either way, just historical precedent and circumstantial evidence,” she said. “While I believe the ‘lab leak’ theory a real possibility, I should point out that the DoE assessment has ‘low confidence’ in that assessment and their assessment did not change the minds of any of the other agencies.”

Hiltzik: The COVID lab leak theory won’t die, but it should – Los Angeles Times
Almost from the start, the lab leak theory has been reliant on conjecture and fueled by Trumpian ideology that has infected, like the pathogens in all those zombie movies and TV shows, the entire Republican Party.
For them, the claim that the pandemic escaped from a Chinese laboratory to infect the world is a convenient weapon to wield against China and perhaps hobble its ability to challenge America’s global economic primacy.
Congressional Republicans have been trying to stand this zombie on its own two feet for years. Serious journalists treat their claims with caution, but sometimes the temptation is overwhelming to break news, or at least what seems like news.
