Covid-19 was discovered in China but not origin from China

Thank you. But it's fine because "Hydra" is my middle name.:biggrin:

China's 'Bat Woman' warns coronavirus is just tip of the iceberg
1 min read . 25 May 2020Bloomberg
If we want to prevent human beings from suffering from the next pandemic, we must go in advance to learn of these unknown viruses carried by wild animals in nature and give early warnings, said Shi Zhengli, deputy director of Wuhan Institute of Virology

Coronavirus’s Genetics Reveal Its Global Travels
Random mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen’s genome help researchers track the spread and transmission of COVID-19, the disease it causes.

ABOVE: The viral genomes of SARS-CoV-2 reveal its path around the globe. The circles mark the size of outbreaks in different regions and the colored lines represent which strain clusters spread to those regions. The map includes data collected up to February 15.

Several years ago, Richard Neher, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and his colleagues wanted to monitor changes to the flu’s genetic makeup to see if the data would help scientists build more-effective flu vaccines. They developed an online interface that integrated the latest viral sequencing data, analyzed it, and published the results in a publicly available interactive web browser.
“Then we thought, why just flu, why not other viruses?” Neher says. The team built a similar platform to chart the transmission of MERS and Ebola and called the site NextStrain.org. Now, they’ve adapted it to keep track of the genetic tweaks to SARS-CoV-2 as it spreads around the globe and chart the viral lineages on world maps to watch, in nearly real time, as the virus moves from major hotspots in China to smaller pockets in other countries.
 
respected microbiologist and biosafety advocate Richard Ebright, PhD, continue to highlight circumstantial evidence suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a biohazard laboratory in Wuhan, China. Such an escape might have occurred via accidental infection of a lab worker who came into contact with the isolated virus, an infected lab animal, or animal waste.

For now, we cannot definitively rule out either origin story—a lab accident or a natural animal-to-human transmission. Determining the origins of this pandemic is unlikely to help current efforts to treat and cure the disease. It could, however, be an important determinant for efforts to prevent future outbreaks.

Escape from a lab?
Most arguments in favor of the lab accident theory are based on geography. Wuhan, the site of COVID-19’s first reported cases in late 2019, is also home to two of China’s most advanced biological laboratories. The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has come under special scrutiny because it hosts China’s only biosafety level 4 lab facilities.

Ebright, a former Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and current laboratory director at Rutgers University, is the most prominent scientist espousing the possibility of a lab escape. He raised biosafety concerns about WIV when it opened in 2017, as did Tim Trevan, founder of CHROME Biosafety and Biosecurity Consulting. Ebright has long opposed the expansion of preventative research into dangerous pathogens, and he views the possible lab escape of SARS-CoV-2 as strong support for that position.
 
so many replies?

looks like tiongs got one innovative product after many centuries

too bad they dun want to claim ownership of this innovative product

overhyped yankee stealth bomber stealth fighter all useless

look at tiong stealth virus
decimated many economies
many countries under lock down after lock down
many millions killed
yet no open warfare started

tiongs are pinnacle of slanty civilization
from art of war by sunzi
to three kingdoms with zhuge liang

all slanty "seminal" work on all intellectual disciplines originate from tiongkok
including
SARS
pig flu
avian flu
melamine tainted milk powder
plastic rice
monkey brain flu
bat sh*t disease
chink virus or
kung flu
or wuhan virus
or wuhan flu
 
i love how the chinese government is very sensitive about the origins of the virus. I wonder why :cool:

Your nick need to change to chinkhatter! The tiongs are better than u and they are first in gdp ppp while u are also first in IQ from the last.

Normally bat virus will infect rural areas first. Like nipah virus when it hit Port Dickson pig farm community in 1999.
