Scientists dispel theory COVID-19 escaped from labThere is overwhelming evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 jumped from animals to humans, rather than escaping from a laboratory, virus experts say. That nasty open air wet market will always create something far more nasty than a lab anyways. Think of the permutations that can occur in that disgusting place. Well the scientists would say that, wouldn’t they? Whether ChinaVirus is an escapee of the Wuhan Lab or a jumper from the bats, still one thing is true, it originated from Wuhan! From the market or laboratory, the point of origin is still China! They must be doing a lot of things wrongly that the virus originated there!
