Chris Lyons+FollowStill No Clear Answer on COVID’s OriginsThree years, tons of research, and the WHO still can’t say for sure how COVID-19 started. Most signs point to animals, but the lab leak theory isn’t totally off the table—mainly because China didn’t share enough data. The expert group couldn’t reach a consensus, and some members even quit or took their names off the final report. Bottom line: we’re still in the dark about how the pandemic really began.

Jessica Hodge+FollowCOVID’s Wild Origins: Not a Lab Leak!Turns out, COVID-19 probably didn’t come from a lab after all. New research shows the virus’s ancestors traveled thousands of miles via wildlife trade—think bats to civets to humans—just like the original SARS outbreak. The virus moved way too fast for bats alone to be responsible, so it’s way more likely that wild animal trading did the job. Basically, the same pattern as SARS in 2002, just with a new cast of animal characters. Wild, right? #COVID19 #ScienceNews #WildlifeTrade #PandemicOrigins #ZoonoticSpillover #Science1013Share
