A Chinese virologist who researches coronavirus in bats has warned that new viruses being discovered are “just the tip of the iceberg”.

Shi Zhengli, the deputy director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, said that research undertaken by governments and scientists around the world needed to be transparent with their findings, and co-operative.

The Trump administration has blamed the Chinese government for the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the virus originated in Wuhan and the government did not do enough to stop it. Beijing, in turn, has accused the US of seeking to hinder its economic rise. Her research started in 2004 following the SARS outbreak. In 2013, she made a breakthrough in her work when she found bat faeces 96.2 per cent identical to the SARS COV-2.RELATED:Earlier in the month, there were reports Western intelligence agencies including in Australia were examining Ms Shi’s work. She maintained COVID-19 was not accidentally unleashed as a result of poor safety standards.

In the early, anxious days of the outbreak, she remembered thinking it was possible the outbreak came from the Wuhan lab.

But I was just beginning to like bats

You mean 'the new viruses being unleashed'.

Is this a threat? The Batwoman stating they have a lab full of viruses & they need funding to I research more?

It would be a massive help if some ppl stopped eating bats cats dogs and even rats!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The problem is they don’t know asymptotic where outbreaks already start until western countries scientists research

US VIROLOGIST PETER DASZAC WHO WORKED AT THE WUHAN LAB DEBUNKED AN WUHAN LAB LINK ON 60 MINUTES AMERICAN. THE STRAIN OF COVID 19 IS NOT KEPT AT THE WUHAN LAB.

Stop eating anything that can be caught then!

By discovered she means, manufactured, in the Wuhan lab.

Maybe we need to exterminate all bats before they exterminate humanity. We also need to stop laboratories from holding any such viruses.

COVID-19 'perfectly adapted to humans' from day one | Sky News AustraliaFlinders’ University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky says it’s proving difficult to explain how COVID-19 was “clearly perfectly adapted to humans from day one” which is not typical in a virus which has spread from wild animals.\n\nProfessor Petrovsky has completed a scientific study, currently undergoing peer review, in conjunction with La Trobe University in Victoria, which found COVID-19 was uniquely adapted for transmission to humans, far more than any other animal, including bats.\n\nHe told Sky News this highly unusual finding left open the possibility that the virus leaked from a laboratory.\n\nAlthough unconfirmed, it is widely believed the deadly virus originated from a live animal market in Wuhan, but Professor Petrovsky said when facts are uncovered which “don’t seem to fit what people are saying, then you’re obliged to make them public somehow”.\n\n“This virus is amazingly adapted to humans and that’s not normal in a situation where a virus has come from a wild animal to a human.\n\n“Typically it takes a while for that virus to adjust to a human environment, (but) this virus was clearly perfectly adapted to humans from day one”.\n\nProfessor Petrovsky said although this is unusual it could still be a “natural experiment that nature has thrown at us,” which is why he couldn’t rule any theory in or out as they are “all still possibilities that need to be addressed”.\n\nImage: AP Can you guys stop spreading dog whistles like like 1 minute.
