Professor Luke O’Neill has said new studies on the origins of Covid-19 discount theories that the virus may have come from a laboratory.
Preliminary studies say it appears to have jumped from animals to humans at that market at least twice in late 2019. “The bottom line, as we know, it did come from the market - the Huanan Seafood Market is the source of this, no question now from that."They've tracked it down to a single stall, amazingly, in the market - 156 cases came from that stall. Once the thing began in early January, they went in and took loads of swabs. They took thousands and thousands of samples from all over the market.
"That decreases the chance it's a lab leak, because that would more likely to be one sample. All this data, as ever, pointing to a market source - firstly - and secondly from animals in that market.”He explained: "They harbour loads and loads of coronaviruses, and that was known before.“The bat might have infected the raccoon dog, basically, and then these raccoon dogs may have been the source".
