From the animal market to the biological weapon, everything about the virus that killed thousands of people

A gap in knowledge of the origin of the new choreographer, which is destroying the world, has provided grounds for all kinds of theories from fantastic to suspicious to reliable.

It was a biogun produced by the Chinese. The U.S. Army brought the virus to Wuhan. He runs like a genie from a bottle from a lab to an accident. It took root in a wildlife market in Wuhan”, these are some of the theories.

Scientists have joined beyond international borders for these suspicious theories. Yet, they are divided into what was once widely thought of the guilty: a so - called market in Wuhan, where wild animals are kept in cages and sold as domestic animals or food. Or that an infected animal - perhaps a pangolin infected the first man.

The truth about how this started remains evasive. Scientists say there is zero evidence that the Chinese or American government deliberately introduced the new Coronaverus SARS-CoV-2 to the public. Until today, one thing seems possible: She came from bats.

“is the simplest, visible and possible “explanation, Dr. Simon Anthony, a professor at Columbia University and a leading member of PREDICT, a global program funded by federation that examines viruses in animal hosts with invisibility potential. P REDICT has discovered 180 coronarys over a decade.

Experts oppose the once widely accepted theory that the virus originated in a wet market. Proponents believe that the nature of these markets filled with people and wild animals committed to slaughter make them the most likely culprits.

Another potentially explosive theory, first introduced by two Chinese researchers in early February and reinforced by Fox News host Tucker Carlson on March 31st, states that origin traces again in an accident at one of the two labs near the Wuhan Market that work with bats.

In any case, researchers agree that the choreography was thrown from an animal to a human, a phenomenon known as the zoonized “departation”.

In early February, Chinese researchers published an article in Nature a high scientific magazine that concluded that “2019 - n The CoV is 96% identical across the genome level with a body of bat”.

Later that month, 27 public health scientists from the United States and the world wrote a letter condemning conspiracy theories.

“Conspiracy Theories do nothing but create fear, gossip and prejudice that endanger our global co-operation in fighting this virus,” wrote them.

Experts cited scientific evidence supporting the theory that “overwhelmingly concludes that this coronary originated in wildlife, as there are so many other pathogens that appear”.

One of those scientists is Peter Daszak, a promising virus hunter who has worked in China for 10 years.

We are very confident that the origin of Covid-19 is in naked,” said Daszak.

Researchers hope to track the virus that is killing tens of thousands. Another source of debate is whether the virus caused by Covid-19 is transferred directly from naked to human, or whether there was a “between”.

Daszak believes that a bat infected a farm animal, which was brought to the living market, and kept with people in one of the most perfect incubators for viral infection: the wet Chinese market.

Professor Andrew Cunningham from the Zoological Society of London says wet markets are a major reason for causing zoological events of wildlife, which he said have become more common over the last 30 years.

But an article in Lancet has cast some doubts on the theory. The study shows that about a third of the first confirmed infected patients had no direct exposure to the wet market. Among them was the first known patient, whose symptoms reportedly began to appear on December 1st, writes CNN.

No epidemiological connection was found between the first patient and later cases,” said in the report. The market closed on January 1st, two days after Wuhan authorities issued a public health alert regarding it.

Most experts support laboratory leak theory

Racanillo offers another theory: The source of the explosion is a farmer.

“on the bats, these viruses are intestine viruses and they are spilling fesine”, he said. And if you enter a cave, it's filled with guano. And farmers in many countries collect it for their fields. ”

Racanillo speculates that after being infected, a farmer or an associate entered Wuhan and began infecting other people.

For many years it was widely believed that the SARS virus was dropped from one bat to another middle animal like the cat that infected one person in a food market in China. But a 2013 study supported by a pursuit in 2017 suggested that the 2003 Coronourius could also have jumped directly from one bat to one man, writes CNN.

US-Kits Tensions Slow Virus Hunters

But one of the labs cited in the letter, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, issued a statement February 19th that strongly rejected any suggestion the virus originated in its laboratory.

The claim said that the theory that the virus was derived from the laboratory was one of the false rumors. Officials in the Chinese government say the source of the virus remains unknown, and that others should stop the country's “Nulouse”.

“actually, the source of Covid-19 is a scientific issue,” said Luo Zhaohui, a deputy foreign affairs minister, in late March. “We need to hear professional and scientific thoughts. WHO has repeatedly stressed that the connection of viruses to specific races, skin colors, or geographic areas should be avoided. This is also the international consensus. ”

Other researchers contacted by CNN were skeptical of the theory of laboratory accidents.

“I think there is no credibility,” said Racanillo. I think it's part of human nature to think that we're doing the worst things, compared to nature”.

Meanwhile, tensions between the US. A. -and China for the origin of the virus complex on charges of deinformation by both sides are slowing down the work of virus fighters.

If there was a so-called intermediate prey, an animal in which the virus was introduced and then allowed it to enter into humans, the virus could still be at that host”, Daszak said.

And there are hundreds, thousands of these animals and farms and maybe the virus is still there. So even if we get rid of the explosion, there's still a chance that the virus can resurface and we need to find out soon. “/ CNN Top Channel
