Where did the coronavirus come from? | COVID-19 Special

Most scientists say the novel coronavirus came from nature. But there remain gaps in our knowledge about its precise origin. Some have chosen to fill those gaps with conspiracy theories, even calling Covid-19 a man-made disease. In many ways, what we don't know about the coronavirus may be hurting our efforts to contain it. As the death toll reaches over 284,000 across the globe, the world is still waiting for the full story. So where did Coronavirus actually come from? Scientists haven't reached a conclusive answer on that. And that's one reason why conspiracy theories and misinformation have been able to run rampant.

Are you calling a Nobel prize winning virologist a conspiracy theorist?

[ashwinik]

Even if virus was leaked from the lab by mistake, still China is responsible and should get punishment for that. A mistake that causes such a blunder all around the world cannot just be a mistake.

Whoever started it deserves a good slap

I hate the term "Conspiracy Theory". If it hasn't been proven otherwise then it's just another theory, valid as any other!

Fun fact: Chinese workers coughed in a box then sent it to the us then corona happened.

[savvy.]

I see that when people say it came from a food shop or came from a bat the government doesn't want to say yes or no to that, but when people come to the conclusion and say the government made it, government say no right away. ????

[quantumeseboy]

What we know for sure is that China puts a lot of effort to cover up the origins of covid-19.

It started at a dairy farm in Arizona. There are thousands of bats at night around dairy's because of so many insects. The bat infected the cow then infected the dairy worker

This reporter Rob Watts makes me feel like I'm living in a matrix, run digitally by machines, and I'm constantly being brainwashed daily as part of whatever experiments they have on us humans. >.< In other words, he gives out robotic creepy vibe.
