Where did the virus come from, after all? The debate, and the confusion, persist
The second wave of the Corona pandemic may be waning but its scare remains intact. After it first came to light in late 2019, the origins and its spread of Novel Coronavirus have been a subject of study. It is being probed by various agencies around the world. Many conspiracy theories of its origin have been doing the rounds ever since some figment of imaginations others not. One plausible theory is that it came from the Huanan seafood and wildlife market in Wuhan. Another attributed to Wuhan virology lab in Wuhan. It was said that it leaked from a Coronavirus lab in China that was working or developing the virus strain. So where did it come from? The latest findings by the US Intelligence suggest that it was indeed a lab leak that led to this pandemic on a global scale. It refutes the theory of it originating at the Huanana seafood and wildlife market. The revelations are the result of ongoing investigations by the US and the UK agencies that are trying to connect the dots. Some startling facts have come to light. They give insight into the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the official name of Novel Coronavirus.
The story goes that three miners were entrusted to clean an abandoned copper mine in Moijang way back in 2012. They had to work in the knee-deep filth of bat excreta and urine. All three fell sick. Three more men replaced them and also fell sick. Three of the six men died. They had the same symptoms that we now associate with Corona. The bat excreta, taken to the Wuhan lab, revealed that the fungus on the fleece was in the lungs of the dead miners. Later, three researchers also died, and somehow the virus leaked out. We would never know. A conspiracy theory doing the rounds suggests that Corona spread in the countries which were competing with China— the US, the UK, and India, you name it. One thing is for sure, Coronavirus does not have ancestral history. Yet another study, by a British professor and a Norwegian scientist, claim that Chinese took a natural Coronavirus “backbone” found in Chinese cave bats and spliced a new “spike” onto it to make it a military-grade. Remember, the Chinese Premier never wore a mask or protection while visiting Wuhan. Of course, China also suffered in Wuhan but then all bomb makers lose a finger or two.
