Question

essay on "origin of covid19"





​

Answer 1

•Scientists have been trying to understand the origin of COVID-19 and the virus that causes it: SARS-CoV-2.

•Originally, scientists believed the virus may have developed in bats, and later pangolins.

•However, genomic comparisons suggest that the SARS-Cov-2 virus is the result of a recombination between two different viruses, meaning the exact origin of the virus is still unclear.

*In the space of a few weeks, we have all learned a lot about COVID-19 and the virus that causes it: SARS-CoV-2. But there have also been a lot of rumours. And while the number of scientific articles on this virus is increasing, there are still many grey areas as to its origins.
