The coronavirus has still not been fully researched.
It probably originated in Wuhan, China.
A researcher is now making an explosive thesis.
The first official
corona cases
occurred
in the Chinese metropolis of
Wuhan
.
The
coronavirus
probably developed from there into a global
pandemic
.
A
virologist
now claims that the
origin of
the virus is not a natural one.
Munich - The
coronavirus
*
has not only determined the headlines for months, but also the everyday life of people all over the world.
The outbreak of the
corona pandemic
*
resulted in numerous impairments.
The virus probably originated in the
Chinese city of Wuhan
.
The first
corona cases
occurred there in December 2019
.
The first infected people probably passed the coronavirus, which is known to be transmitted from person to person, to their carers.
The
virus spread
worldwide
from Wuhan
and developed into a pandemic due to its rapid infection rate.
Subsequently, critical voices also increased that China had not dealt with the necessary transparency with the corona outbreak in Wuhan.
US President Donald Trump
and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even expressed the suspicion several times that the virus did not develop naturally, but that it was grown in a Chinese laboratory.
Trump and Pompeo have not yet been able to provide any proof of their daring theory.
Chinese researcher who fled claims: "Coronavirus comes from the laboratory"
Now a
Chinese virologist
also
claims
that the
coronavirus was artificially generated
.
In her home country,
Dr.
Li-Meng Yan caught
the virus, then fled to the United States.
For fear of the consequences, Li is currently hiding in a secret location. For the first time since her escape, she sought the public on a British talk show.
On the TV channel
itv
, the virologist stated on the program "Loose Woman" that she had scientific evidence that the coronavirus was artificially produced in a laboratory.
"It comes
from the laboratory in Wuhan
and it is controlled by the Chinese government," said Yan.
"The virus certainly does not come from nature." The scientist also said that she was already
under
extreme
pressure
from the authorities during her time in Hong Kong
.
Virologist from China: Escape after alleged threats from the state
She was strongly advised to “keep quiet and be careful.” Otherwise, she could “get into trouble and disappear,” Yang said.
The experiences described led to Dr.
Yan realized that she was no longer safe in her homeland and that she had to flee.
Because the Chinese know "how China deals with informants," she justified her move.
However, Yan was unable to provide evidence of what she said on the TV show.
She also failed to provide evidence of the artificial origin of the corona virus.
