by monotreme1000 May 7, 2020 Origin of SARS-CoV-2 Hypotheses 1. The virus was engineered in a crude and obvious way. Although there have been a few scientists who claim to have found evidence for genetic modification, the consensus view is that are no obvious signs of tampering. There are characteristics of the sequence that point to natural evolution. 2. The virus was engineered in a sophisticated and non-obvious way. There is no way to prove this hypothesis without a confession from someone who did it or knows about it. This is because all of the signs of natural evolution of a virus could be carefully synthesized, nucleotide by nucleotide. There is also no way to disprove this hypothesis, even in theory. 3. The virus escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan. There is no definitive proof that this occurred. However, there is very strong circumstantial evidence which raises suspicion that this may have occurred. 4. The virus originated in a "wet market" in Wuhan. This hypothesis has been disproven. Samples collected from patients who were infected before the big outbreak associated with the wet market are positive. The epidemic was probably amplified by crowding at the wet market, but it did not originate there. 5. The virus spread from a bat somewhere near Wuhan to an unknown person who then spread it within Wuhan. There is no evidence for or against this hypothesis. We do not have a definitive answer to the origin of SARS-CoV-2. However, we can reject hypotheses 1 and 4. Hypotheses 2, 3 and 5 are still possible. The currently available evidence most strongly points to hypothesis 3, although this is entirely circumstantial. Regardless of the origin of SARS-CoV-2, there can be no doubt that Dictator Xi Jinping deliberately, and with malice aforethought, spread the virus both within Wuhan and to the rest of the world. Multiple strains All viruses mutate and SARS-CoV-2 is no exception. The future There are still many things we do not know about SARS-CoV-2. There are countries which have reduced their COVID-19 cases to nearly zero. We should study them adopt their strategies. Many countries will not be able to control the virus within their borders due to incompetent politicians and public health officials. I hope the US is not on this list, for long.
