Origin of SARS-CoV-2
Topic
The origin of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has been the subject of extensive scientific investigation and global debate. Scientific consensus indicates that the virus is zoonotic, likely originating in bats and transmitting to humans through an intermediate animal host, potentially linked to wildlife markets in Wuhan, China. Alternative hypotheses, such as an accidental laboratory leak, have also been investigated by international researchers and intelligence agencies.
