The CoronaCOVID-19 virus is most likely actually hidden somewhere in the world, for about 20 to 25 years. This was stated by Gao Fu as Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We realized several years ago that the Corona virus could present a huge challenge to humanity," he said at an event.
He said the type of Corona virus had been found since 1965. The Corona virus is indeed diverse, not only COVID-19 which is still troubling the world.
Then he gave an example of a case in 2004, a Corona virus named HCoV-HKU1 was isolated at the University of Hong Kong. However, a later study found that the exact same virus was present in virus samples stored in Brazil since 1995.
"Tracking the origin of the virus is a scientific question. Even though today the Corona virus is called '19' (COVID-19), it may eventually be discovered that this virus has been hidden somewhere for 20, 30 or even 50 years ago," he said. again.
Of course, further research is needed on Gao Fu's claims. Perhaps at the same time he wanted to reiterate that the Corona virus really came from nature, not from the Wuhan lab as some have alleged.
So far, it is not clear where the COVID-19 coronavirus came from. The latest news, the World Health Organization (WHO) will re-investigate this matter. It is planned that the investigative team will consist of 20 scientists to look for possible new evidence.
Previously, the WHO had also conducted an investigation into the origins of this Corona in early 2021. They made a visit to Wuhan, China, where the virus was first confirmed at the end of 2019.
However, from the results of the first investigation, they argue that the data provided by Chinese scientists is not sufficient to answer the question of the origin of the virus. For this reason, WHO has finally re-formed a team to investigate the new Corona virus.
