This is an important point. No male people should be in prisons that are for female inmates, especially wardens and guards who have power over these prisoners. There are groups devoted to advocating for female prisoners, who are an incredibly vulnerable population, who have put forth this idea repeatedly. It hasn't caught on because the general public doesn't spend much time thinking about prison populations, but maybe someday it will.

The RaTG13 sample at Wuhan was from 2013 and was no longer live at the time SARS-COV-2 started spreading.

Before China stopped cooperating with the international community after being accused of being responsible for COVID the Wuhan lab regularly uploaded all it's sequences and results to public databases, they weren't working on any similar viruses at the time.

That should be the entire theory killed. But fear of secret bioweapons research gone awry keeps it alive.
