This is written in a way that implies a fully funded lab would have done something to contain the current outbreak.

It wouldn’t. That’s not how the CDC works.

But the culprit likely would've been identified and mitigated sooner?

I think that's the idea: recognize, analyze, contain, save lives.

yes. and that identification would have contained the current outbreak, to some degree, or at least mitigated it.

??? thats exactly what they would have done. thats like saying releasing arod would not mean less home runs.

depends a lot on the word "contain".
