{UAH} Coronavirus: Here’s why the virus was not created in a laboratory
John Kwitonda
Is this a right time to sell anything called covid-19 and The Wuhan lab by WHO? It is like selling me the idea that the Trump tablet does not work, yes but who sold you that story? Well it is CDC. -> Say what !!!!!!!! ?
The most valuable information coming out of bogus organizations? Nah I am not a buyer sir.

Coronavirus
Scientists are still investigating the origin of the coronavirus that has paralysed much of the planet.
Perhaps understandably, rumours have circulated that the virus might be man-made, but scientists have spoken out to explain why it's not true, Science Alert has reported.
Specific features on the virus show that it's the product of natural evolution, according to experts – and some of the features could not actually be made in a lab.
Earlier this year, research published in Nature also concluded that it was not man-made.

Nigel McMillan, from the Menzies Health Institute Queensland, told Science Alert: "All evidence so far points to the fact the COVID-19 virus is naturally derived and not man-made.
"No system exists in the lab to make some of the changes found."
McMillan also pointed out that some of the features of the virus would simply not make sense if it had been designed by human beings.
McMillan said: "If you were going to design it in a lab the sequence changes make no sense as all previous evidence would tell you it would make the virus worse."

Rumours have also suggested that the virus may have originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), but researchers also said that this story doesn't entirely fit.
Edward Holmes, of the University of Sydney, said that the amount of changes in the virus kept in the WIV lab suggests it's unlikely to be the source.
Holmes said: "The closest known relative of SARS-CoV-2 is a bat virus named RaTG13, which was kept at the WIV. There is some unfounded speculation that this virus was the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
"However, RaTG13 was sampled from a different province of China (Yunnan) to where COVID-19 first appeared and the level of genome sequence divergence between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 is equivalent to an average of 50 years (and at least 20 years) of evolutionary change."
