No, the coronavirus wasn’t made in a lab. A genetic analysis shows it’s from nature.

Amid the CoVid-19 scare, it it normal to log onto social media and see a lot of conspiracy theories about what is going on. One popular conspiracy theory is that the virus was made in a lab. Scientists have taken this theory and debunked. CoVid-19 was in fact not made in a lab, but completely from nature. Many people think the virus jumps from animal to animal, but scientists have proven that it jumped from animal to human.

  1. Hi! I have also seen this article and have wondered due to the multiple conspiracies I have heard. I actually watched a docuseries on the Coronavirus pandemic so far and have been educated on the topic! The virus is zoonotic and they believe came from bats, much like other viruses and more viruses that we haven't seen yet! Its amazing to thing there are so many out there that aren't discovered yet and that could cause another pandemic.

  2. I read a similar article about this topic. The article I read discussed how Coronaviruses have been present in bats for decades. Proving that humans did not "make it."
