I've been thinking about this but now especially with regards to Covid-19 there are a lot of theories out there starting from absolute fringe and lunacy to somewhat scientific and even ones with sources to academia.
For starters not to get too long my question is,
What is our current known capability with regards to artificially changing or maybe even making viruses? I'll admit I don't know that much about it but I do want to know some trustworthy info regarding this subject.
In other words , do we posses the capability to artificially produce a virus and make it with certain properties resulting in specific symptoms etc, or do we posses the capability to take a natural virus and "tune it" up a notch or change it, or do we posses no such capability at all and can merely trace a virus, try finding it's root and then store it or use it as a bioweapon if we want to?
