I'm not reading the whole thread so this may have been responded to, but in the UK pre-pandemic it would be worked on in a BSL3 facility but I know that the Government has certified that it can be worked on in BSL2 facilities.Is there much doubt left that the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute?
It's now come out that they infact were doing gain of function research in the lab on coronavirus in a BSL 2!!! That means it's the same level of safety as your dentists.
Not my area of expertise but in basic terms, BSL2 there are bio safe cabinets in the lab within which you can work on it safely, BSL3 the lab is bio safe. The processes should be same, so it should be as hard for a virus to escape either situation & get into the wild.
I don't know what processes dentists are up to but I would be surprised if their facilities were BSL2, given the BSL2 labs I've been in still have mechanical ventilation, "air-lock" doors etc, I'd think it would be more of a reflection on how they sterilise implements and treat their biological waste.
