Do you believe that coronavirus did start in China? If not, an Oxford expert thinks the same. According to him, the virus could have started nowhere. He believes that the SARS-CoV- 2 may have been around for years on Earth. Humans had just woke the virus up from its long hibernation. Here's the study.
Where did coronavirus start?
Aside from the theory that viruses could have just sprouted nowhere, Jefferson also claims that Coronavirus had already started way years back. This means that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could have been just out there, but humans accidentally woke it up-- resulting in a deadly pandemic.
"I think the virus was already here, here meaning everywhere. We may be seeing a dormant virus that has been activated by environmental conditions," he said.
Though bats are not yet proven to be the source of the virus, the Coronavirus may have started from something that ignited them. This means weather conditions, or other animal secretion may have been the real cause of the spread.
"They are always here, and something ignites them, maybe human density or environmental conditions," explains him.
As of now, nothing is for sure.
