I bet they are now.  ;)

If enough economic damage is done I fear many will think that a viable option especially if China is held responsible

Viable?

adjective

vi·​a·​ble | \ ˈvī-ə-bəl  \

1: capable of living

2: capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately
viable alternatives

I fear that many do not really know what 'viable' means.

Isn't this definition that Eagler had intended?

And fyi, in my day, usage of the word being defined in a definition was a no-no

Well, I'm not sure that would be in our best interests, but in any case, it's irrelevant.  You'll never prove it.

All they have to say is, "Yes we had a bio-lab in Wuhan studying CoronaVirus in bats.  But that is just a coincidence.  This virus started in the wet markets.  So sorry. We've closed those down."

How can you disprove it?  Unless you found a defector from the lab, but I'm sure all the technicians from that clown show are probably already in a hole in the ground covered in quick-lime.

Initiating global thermonuclear warfare is supposed to equate to 2: capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately
viable alternatives?

Since when is proof needed to start a war?

Haven't needed that since Pearl Harbor

Neither of us mentioned proof (until just now). What I'm suggesting is a nonsensical response to a imagined situation.

I'm guessing at this point (literally) that neither of us find nuclear response a viable option, proof or not. Seems that would also leave conventional war out. Here's to cooler and wiser heads prevailing.

Well, this is certainly bad, and is going to get worse.  But I find it hard to believe that any rational American leadership would think it is worth it to engage in a nuclear exchange over this.  It won't just be one way.

That would just be cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Mutually assured destruction is a poor policy choice.  I certainly would suggest jumping to that one first.

Ok I'll downgrade to a very nasty conventional war or terrorism to start.

For God's sake Guys.... give it a rest. The only war to be fought is ALL people vs a Bug. And like small pox, polio, measles, we will win this... at least until the next mega virus.
