Where did COVID come from
The WHO released a plan in November 2020 to find out the origin of Corona Virus. The quest began in the Wuhan, China where a new virus known as SARC COV-2 was discovered and spread all over the world. The WHO team faced a tough challenge of tracing the virus's route in order to avoid potential viral spillovers, according to scientists.
Bats And Covid-19
The virus was believed to have originated in bats, but how it spread to humans is unclear. Other coronaviruses have been transmitted by an intermediate animal host; for example, the virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002–04 most likely originated from raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) or civets.
It will take years to track down the source of a virus, whether it can be achieved at all, and the investigation would have to handle the intensely sensitive diplomatic situation between China and the US.
US President Donald Trump has been “calling it a China virus and the Chinese government is trying to do everything to prove that it is not a China virus”, says Linfa Wang, a virologist at Duke–National University of Singapore Medical School.
According to Wang, who was part of the WHO mission that studied the source of SARS in China in 2003, the political blame game has kept important information regarding ongoing research in China from being made public.
The Search Started In Wuhan
The head of the World Health Organization's (WHO) mission, Peter Ben Embarek, said it was "highly unlikely" that the virus spread from a lab leak in Wuhan. He stated that further research was required to determine the virus's origin. According to one analyst, the probe could now center on Southeast Asia.
The WHO team started a research to find out the origin of this virus and firstly the team arrived in Wuhan. Dr. Embarek said that studies into Covid-19's sources led to a "natural reservoir" in bats, but that this was impossible to exist in Wuhan. He admitted that identifying the animal pathway was still a work in progress, but that it was "most likely" that it came from an intermediate species that crossed over to humans.
Covid-19 may have been found in other areas before it was discovered in Wuhan, according to Liang, a health specialist with China's Health Commission. The team called for further research into the probability of "cold chain" delivery, which relates to frozen food transport and trading. According to Dr. Peter, a member of the WHO squad, the emphasis on the roots of Covid-19 has moved to the South East Asia.
The experts dismissed a lab leak theory.
For months, scientists, politicians, and others from outside China have supported the idea that the virus originated as a result of a Chinese laboratory accident. Although several scholars are skeptical of this hypothesis, they have encouraged the W.H.O. team to study it thoroughly.
The lab leak hypothesis is flatly dismissed in the study, which labels it "highly doubtful." The experts' conclusions are mainly based on discussions with Wuhan scientists.
Result OF WHO Investigation
The investigative study, which was published 4 days ago, also looks at the possible position of markets, including the Huanan market in Wuhan, which has been linked to many of the first reported COVID-19 infections.
“We could show the virus was circulating in the market as early as December 2019,” says the WHO’s Peter Ben Embarek, who co-led the investigation. He adds that this investigation is far from the last. “A lot of good leads were suggested in this report, and we anticipate that many, if not all of them, will be followed through because we owe it to the world to understand what happened, why and how to prevent it from happening again.”
Market Or Lab
The coronavirus is extremely unlikely to have escaped from a lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to the WHO report.
The majority of scientists agree that SARS-CoV-2 transmitted from animals to humans, but a few have supported the hypothesis that the virus was deliberately or unintentionally released from a lab. As the writers of the study went to the institute, scientists informed them that no one in the lab had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, leaving out the possibility that anyone had become exposed in an experiment and transmitted the virus to others.
Vaccine Of Corona Virus
COVID-19 is caused by a virus that belongs to the Coronaviridae family of viruses. Antibiotics have little effect on viruses. As a complication, some people who become ill with COVID-19 can develop a bacterial infection. Antibiotics may be prescribed in this case by a health care practitioner. There is currently no accepted treatment for COVID-19.ource
Current Cases Of Covid-1
Conclusion
So in short it is cleared from the WHO investigation that the Corona virus is not originated from Lab. The scientist dismissed the thought that the virus came from Chinese Lab but the report shows that it might possible this virus came from Huanan market. Multiple countries are trying their best to find out the vaccine of this decease. But the first thing to save from this virus is wearing mask.
