Why scientists think the novel coronavirus developed naturally—not in a Chinese lab.

virus that initially circulated in bats then spilled into humans. But that hasn’t stopped some from trying to find a more sinister origin. “It seems like such an extreme event that people are looking for an extraordinary explanation for it,” said Stephen Goldstein, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah who studies coronaviruses. No single piece of evidence has yet confirmed the virus’ origin.

The original SARS coronavirus targeted the same receptors, and after the 2002 SARS epidemic, experiments tinkered with its spike to determine the structure of an “optimized” version of the SARS lock pick. Many factors influence the success of a virus,, so “if you were going to make a new virus, and make it even more infectious than SARS,” said Goldstein, you would give it that optimized tip.

How SARS-CoV-2 acquired this unusual tip is still a mystery. But blaming it on genetic engineering overstates the abilities of scientists, Garry said. Guessing that these particular amino acids can bind to ACE2 so effectively is nearly impossible— there are 20 common types of amino acids, and tens of millions of ways to arrange them into a binding tip.

You gotta be joking a virus which does not yield 2 salt water, chlorine or uv is a natural occurrence .Is there any chance that there may be some other reason this is surfacing at the same time a certain country is prohibiting foreigners from leaving? Just saying this sounds hmm

It may have developed naturally and accidently escaped from the Chinese lab. Has nothing to do with the Chinese covering it up stooping travel to the rest of China but working with WHO to spread it around the world. They were not going to let China go down alone. Make China pay!

Or they could of developed it naturally in the lab. This isn’t rocket science folks. What they don’t tell u is it doesn’t have to be genetically altered to show it came from a lab.They could have gone to a bat cave, brought bat guano back and said gee look what we have here!

A common sense, humans simply dont have the capability to cook up a virus. Whoever believes man made virus might as well believe the tales from Scientology cult.

1) there is a lab in the same city 2) they work on bat born corona virus 3) they have a spotty safety history That is a pretty big fucking coincidence of all the wet markets in the world. Like, statistically improbable....

Radical right wing conspiracy theory groups are spreading false information claiming widely shared on social media stateting that Japanese Nobel laureate allegedly said the new coronavirus is not natural and that China manufactured it; shared over 10,000 times as of May 1, 2020.

Does it really matter at this point if it was natural or made in a lab. China is responsible for its spread with their irresponsible food & health policies. The only real punishment for China is financial. Don't buy anything that is made in or with components made in China.

Maybe they should further their studies and learn Origin of living things. Everything origins somewhere ✍

It is not that it was created in the lab, it was that they were studying it, and it accidentally was released. Why do Democrats and Leftist leaning news organizations love and embrace the Communist Chinese? They have an abhorrent record on everything!

So in layman's terms you have 'no idea', So you have come to the assumption that because you don't know how it could be done then it could not be done ….. Reminds me of Alexander Pope's quote 'A little learning is a dangerous thing.'

The virus came from China!!

Same thing happened to me when I got busted for my natural steroids I shoot up in my a$$

I read the report. Almost all sources the writer used are either Chinese scientists in China or scientists who work FOR China. We know that China doctors who sounded alarms on Covid were arrested or disappeared. The article is biased and lacks journalistic intelligence.

The scientist that are thinking that they’re not true scientists, their puppets of Bill Gates and the rest of the slimy crew

Makes NO difference, that lab let it out.

You know what, it doesn’t matter if it came naturally or from a lab. It was bad and is being dealt with. China is responsible for it killing a large number of people all over the world. You should be reporting on that factor.

Please do we have vaccine yet 🚶🚶🚶

An absolutely lie: COVID-19 is found & documented that COVID-19 is made from other virus in the lab, not necessary being killed by COVID-19, but China lab exploiting the ways to kill human...United States of America are under full bloom attacks, e.g. meat & other food source.

Probably because it’s already been found to live in animals. COVID19 seems to be a mutated virus that animals had but became contractable to humans due to this mutation. Explains why we’re able to infect animals but this strain can’t be passed from animal to human.

Those pesky scientists with their fancy facts. The conspiracy theorists, trolls, bots, psychotics - they’re all going to jump on this story. Cue the hysteria in 3, 2, 1...

The UK changed its law on April 27th to allow authorities to forcibly remove people from their homes and vaccinate them if they test positive.

Flogging a dead horse here fake news CCP ABC .

The life of communist were supported by Trade . The communist Trade would be nothing! COVID = COMMUNIST OUTPUT VIRUS IN DEATH. Destroy the virus source, the same as to destroy communist. Communist virus concern nothing with a Corona!

False dichotomy. Experts have said that it appears to be a natural strain of coronavirus that leaked from the Wuhan lab where it was verifiably being studied.

Bcoz China brainwashed them to think so.

Naturally pawhahaha

Of course it developed naturally in a bat in the Wuhan lab and was released

It either came from a lab in China or someone in China ate a bat (which isn’t uncommon) and got it from that.

Because it lives in bats (NATURE) these idiots at the market were selling prohibited nature animals (exotic) and boom they were tough luck the ones infected and spread rapidly like soap everywhere.

The same scientists that say global worming is real and proven? despite all the proof that says otherwise. when your FCC license comes up for Renewal I am going to be one of the opposition calling for the FCC to not renew it.

The narrative that these two scenarios are mutually exclusive is false. It can be a naturally occurring virus AND have escaped from a research laboratory.

For every PhD, there is an equal an opposite PhD. Also, isn't the main point they covered it up and allowed International travel? Typical commie screw up like Chernobyl.

Naturally?

And the moon really is made of cream cheese..!

Still pushing this? No one said it was created in a lab.

Shhh... don't let FoxNews watchers hear this.

Cuz they are CCP shills.

Ur scientists are wrong again. Try a new source

So called scientists. Trump and his advisor, Alex Jones think otherwise.
