Scientists have released three studies that reveal intriguing new clues about how the COVID-19 pandemic started. Two of the reports trace the outbreak back to a massive market that sold live animals, among other goods, in Wuhan, China and a third suggests that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 spilled over from animals—possibly those sold at the market—into humans at least twice in November or December 2019.
Some virologists say that the new evidence pointing to the Huanan market doesn’t rule out an alternative hypothesis. Namely, they say that the market could have just been the location of a massive amplifying event, in which an infected person spread the virus to many other people, rather than the place of the original spillover.
A research team from China including the head of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention has now genetically sequenced those positive samples, releasing the results in a preprint posted on 25 February. The scientists confirm that the samples contain SARS-CoV-2 sequences nearly identical to those that have been circulating in humans. Further, they show that the two original virus lineages circulating at the start of the pandemic, called A and B, were both present at the market.
In one, the team zeroed in on the southwestern section of the Huanan market, where live animals were sold as recently as 2019, as being the potential epicentre of the outbreak. They arrived at this conclusion by compiling information on the first known COVID-19 cases in China, as reported in various places, including the WHO investigation, newspaper articles, and from audio and video recordings of doctors and patients in Wuhan.
In a second report, Andersen and colleagues concluded that lineage A and lineage B of SARS-CoV-2 are too different from one another on a genetic level for one to have evolved into the other quickly in humans. Therefore, they suggest that the coronavirus must have evolved within non-human animals and that the two different lineages spread to humans separately.
Oh you do realize it was in the United States much earlier than November. They mistakingly or purposely I think called it “vaping disease” or “EVALLI”. Symptoms and lung scans fit COVID-19 to a tee. That was in June or July 2019. So more than likely COVID came from US Biolab.
Sure, nice try. So someone planting it at the market or say escaped from the from the bio lab that less than a mile away dealing with those very types of viruses seems more likely. Sorry. Stick to science, not political science.
It is my understanding that this was official version from the very beginning.
Somebody getting CCP 'financial support' (in the face of plummeting subscriptions?) ?
Stop making up rumors. COVID-19 was created by Fort Detrick. The United States participated in the Military World Games and put it in Wuhan, China. The truth was first exposed by China.
Absolute bs. 😇🌍🙏
FUCK OFF 🤡 there isn't a single shred of solid evidence for zoonotic origin. Not one.
Just like Prof Robert Webster warned us it would. Heard him say in 2016 that the next flu pandemic would start in the wet markets of Sth China. That's when I start hoarding coffee.
Not surprising at all.
Wasn’t that the plot for Contaigon ?

Wuhan market was epicentre of pandemic’s start, studies suggestReport authors say that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 jumped from animals sold at the market into people twice in late 2019 — but some scientists want more definitive evidence. Thanks nature 💰 2 studies to flatten the truth.
