We can think those kind of labs are that super secure, but then a day someone don't pay attention in a repetitive task, because didn't sleep well, felt a bit sick but "I am fine, thanks", drunk a bit during lunch because there was something to celebrate...
When one is always in contact with danger, routine is a bad companion. And what it doesn't happen in many years, can happen in a second.

If it was released by Xi and the CCP can we call it “Winnie the Flu”?

A Chinese research paper written by Chinese scientists in China, attempting to determine the source concluded the virus originated in a "Horseshoe Bat". The closest known colony to Wuhan is 800 miles away. The researchers could not locate anyone familiar with the Wuhan "wet market" who had seen "Horseshoe Bat" for sale.
There are TWO virology labs in Wuhan and they were studying those bats. The researchers concluded the virus most likely escaped from one of the two labs (it would not be the first time).
They are not saying that this was a) intentional or b) some kind of escaped bio-weapon, the suggestion is that the virus may have made its way to the market from someone who had initially been exposed to blood and tissue of the bats in one of those labs.
The Chinese scientists recommended those labs and others in China located in major population centers be moved to less populated areas as well as more stringent protocols put in place.

That's exactly my point. There is no 100% security no matter how much we think we have something under control, and all in all, these corona virus is still on the "low" area. There probably are worst things in such labs.

Is it common that newly coated roads are totally wavy and not even resemble what you may call flat surface?

Here in the First World, we lay 'em flat, then sit back and watch 'em go wavy with potholes, lumps, channels, dips, ...

in Italy, they lay 'em flat, then sit back and watch the utility companies dig 'em up again.

Like Denver. It seems that all new pavement in Denver is like driving on a dirt road.

I think that's deliberate: everyone's driving a SUV now, so why take away the fun of driving offroad?

In NL, half or more of the roads are block-paved, and are as bumpy as Hell before the first car even drives on them.
I've worked on site with block pavers in the UK, where you could walk on their work blindfolded with no shoes or socks, and not even know it was block paving.
The Dutch block pavers don't even whack silver sand after the blocks are laid, to lock them; they just throw shovelsful of coarse building sand over the road surface, and leave it there for the cars to pick up and carry away in their tyres.
As a cyclist who does a minimum of 30km a day, I'll be sending a very stern letter if I develop serious back or joint problems.

Sorry about your back, then.
My back's been getting worse, but I primarily blame both my mattress, and my office chair. Need to get both replaced ASAP. Yet I find myself putting it off...

I had a bad back for fifteen years.
A change of car brand and a new mattress fixed it.
So get that ASAP done, for your own sake.

Volkswagen Passat, and before that a Peugeot.

In French, the T would be silent, and "pas ça" = "not that". Sounds like a fair warning when you go car shopping
And Peugeot, well...here in Canada, they've had them back in the 80s at the Chrysler dealer my dad worked for. Nobody wanted to work on them. The one guy they managed to hire to work exclusively on them turned out to be the reason there's a "crooked mechanic" stereotype.

Except for that it killed my back, it was the dealers that made them a no go for me. Not sure if they were crooked or just incompetent though.

To some it's the quantity and quality of what they smoke that determines how straight and how wavy.
