Jessica Hodge+FollowCOVID’s Wild Origins: Not a Lab Leak!Turns out, COVID-19 probably didn’t come from a lab after all. New research shows the virus’s ancestors traveled thousands of miles via wildlife trade—think bats to civets to humans—just like the original SARS outbreak. The virus moved way too fast for bats alone to be responsible, so it’s way more likely that wild animal trading did the job. Basically, the same pattern as SARS in 2002, just with a new cast of animal characters. Wild, right? #COVID19 #ScienceNews #WildlifeTrade #PandemicOrigins #ZoonoticSpillover #Science1013Share
