According to the Washington Times, US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claims that the COVID-19 virus escaped from a virology lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan before spreading to a slaughter market.
When asked by reporters how active they are in investigating reports of the origin of the virus, Trump said in an April 17 briefing by the newspaper about his Corona virus task force.
"They talk about a particular type of bat, but that bat wasn't in that area. If you can believe it, that's what they're sitting on. But that bat isn't in that area. They The bat wasn't sold in this wet zone. It wasn't sold there. That bat is 40 miles away. So, a lot of weird things are happening, but there's a lot of investigation going on and we're going to find out. All I can say is that where he came from, he came from China.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mark Milli, confirmed this week that US intelligence agencies were investigating whether the virus had originated in a Chinese laboratory.
"At this point, it's unreasonable, although the weight of the evidence indicates a natural [original], but we certainly don't know," General Fair told reporters at the Pentagon.
Speculation on the origin of COVID-19
In fact, China has insisted that the outbreak in Wuhan has been linked to the "wet" slaughter market, and is feeding off one of the two main theories about the origin of the virus. ۔
The first is that bat-borne pathogens have infected animals on the market and, as a result, humans. Another contemporary theory is that he walked out of the Wuhan lab where he was being studied, with reports that China has conducted extensive research on the bat-borne corona virus.
A group of U.S. virus experts said in a March 17 issue of Nature Medicine that China had previously conducted research on coronavirus in questionable security laboratories, insisting:
We should therefore examine the possibility of an unintentional laboratory release of SARS-CoV-2.
