The virus was first detected in Yunnan Province, China, on December 8, However, initially, the virus was not described as a coronavirus in the human eye. However, it was suspected to be a flu-like illness and the Chinese government was informed through a doctor.
But the Chinese government kept it hidden. Then, as of January 5, 2020, 57 people in China’s Wuhan province were infected with the virus; however, the Chinese government did not pay attention to it.
The virus was hidden by the Chinese government until January. However, as of January 20, 2020, the number of infections rose to 136 persons and the Chinese government could not hide this.
The virus has since spread from China to the rest of the world. And today, more than a million people are infected with the virus.
What is the source of the coronavirus?
What has caused panic around the world in a short period of time is really worrying. Therefore, where, through what, and how did this virus originate; many people have expressed many opinions about it.
Some scientists believe that the virus originated from an illegal animal market in Wuhan province. Because; Snakes, rats, turtles, rats, and bats; the meat of wolves and other animals is bought and sold.
However, there is no real evidence that people in the province have contracted the virus because they ate the meat of illegal animals; because that’s how people in other parts of China eat; But Wuhan province alone has seen the first cases.
Others say the virus came from wild boars. This is because there is a special market for wild boar in Wuhan province and people bought wild boar meat from here. The virus in the wild boar is 90 percent similar to that found in people infected with the virus. However, many have claimed that this proves that the source of the virus is not wild boars.
Iraq and the United States have claimed that China has developed the virus itself. China develops biological weapons in a lab in Wuhan province and it was here that the coronavirus was created. Perhaps the virus came out of this lab and showed symptoms in people in Wuhan province for some reason.
