COVID-19: Origin Theories and Ongoing Investigations
Multiple Scenarios Under Consideration
Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, scientists and investigators continue to delve into the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Four prevailing scenarios have emerged:Zoonosis: The virus may have jumped from an animal species, likely a bat or pangolin, to humans.
Laboratory Accident: Some speculate that the virus escaped from a laboratory studying coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
Recombination Event: The virus could have arisen from a genetic recombination between two or more coronavirus variants.
Natural Selection: The virus may have evolved naturally in animal populations and gradually adapted to infect humans.
