The laboratory leak has been a hot topic lately. Understanding who is to blame for the new virus outbreak is top on everyone’s list. I believe the focus these days should remain on how to manage and or create a vaccine. The SARS-CoV that was discovered in 2003 has been isolated and managed for a long period of time now. There are reports on the virus sample being managed in the National Biosafety Laboratory since 2013. Since then they have had the opportunity for proper analysis. There are two theory’s that debunks the whole idea of the virus originating from the Wuhan market through consumption of wild animals, and they include the fact that the National Biosafety Laboratory is fairly close to the Wuhan market and the a researcher and or researchers that were working and handling the viruses might have caught the virus and walked out the building not know they were infected. Secondly, a paper that was released that was quoted from seven doctors at Wuhan’s Jinyintan Hospital as saying that. “the first patient admitted on December 1 had never been to the wet market, nor had there been any epidemiological link between the first patient and subsequent infection cases, based on the data from the first 41 patients treated there”. Lastly, the was a letter or note released from the Chinese Ministry of Science, that some kind of incident may have occurred in the Wuhan lab that led to the release of the virus.
