The Coronavirus is not made in a lab, but there will come a time when viruses are produced in labs as bioweapons.

Preparing for the next pandemic is not just a job for national healthcare departments, it's also a job for the military.

Scary talk:

Programming viruses as bioweapons at the moment is incredibly risky as they can blow back against your own population. But, what if there was a technology that would allow you to target specific groups?

A cure for cancer might well be viruses programmed to attack specific cells, which can be identified by the defect in the DNA that is the cancer.

This cure is a moonshot, but we all want it to happen....

However, this same technology might also be used to target specific racial groups or even families or individuals.

These are just a few effects you could get by damaging specific genes. Make an entire group...

Intolerant to sunlight
Age at an accelerated rate
Blind
Have an erectile dysfunction
Gain weight
And so on...

Let the Coronavirus be a wake-up call that we need to be much better prepared for the next virus, and that this is not just a job for healthcare departments.
