An early cluster of cases, linked to an animal market in Wuhan, initially suggested that humans had been infected by animals.

. This has led to speculation that pangolins may be a potential intermediate host for SARS-CoV-2, but there’s no definitive finding as of yet. But even if humans got SARS-CoV-2 from pangolins, its ultimate origin is still likely to be bats.Although the consumption of wild meat certainly presents the opportunity for zoonotic viruses to transmit to humans, most transmission is caused by urban sprawl as humans increasingly come in contact with animals.

Wild meat, including bats, remain important sources of nutrition for people in many parts of the world. Without proper education campaigns and accessible alternatives for food, banning the sale and consumption of wild animals could prove catastrophic. As many individuals rely on their consumption for income and sustenance, it would likely drive these activities underground. That would make tracing the source of animal to human transmissions even more difficult to identify and prevent.

Really informative. Thank you.

TuckerCarlson can you please tell whoever wrote this what’s good

COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic has a non-natural origin - out of blue and probably escaped from a lab.

Looking at the distribution of cv-19 world wide, it is unlikely that it originated in 1 place (Wuhan, China); further research will likely show cv-19 has been around for some time predating 7/2019 in the middle-east, Asia & Africa but mis-diagnosed as pneumonia, MERS or SARS

🤔.....😂

There is nothing that escapes stupidity

Hmm...this is your second try to sell the propaganda in the last two weeks. Paid by whom Forbes? Also, who really gives a damn about what your virologist thinks until an impartial investigation from world governments is complete?

Escaped ? Sounds like red bull 🦅
