Their hubris is amazing. Only human beings could believe that something they create could defy the influence of nature.
Just as in the case of the swine and avian flu s that have emerged in the last 6 or 7 years. Nature has taken their attempt at a deadly virus and turned it into a less deadly version of itself. I would have no reason to believe that it would not do the same with this corona-virus. Or any other virus they come up with. Initial casualties not withstanding, of course, as there will always be initial casualties in the early stages before it begins to transform. Then there will always be those who are susceptible that have compromised immune systems. Nature will always be responsible for it's mutation and as with everything nature influences it will adapt in ways that these monsters would never have anticipated.
