New study finds Wuhan market likely origin source of COVID-19
New York Post, Feb 26 2022 6:51 PM

A market in Wuhan, China, that sold live animals likely was the point of origin for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a pair of studies released today. "When you look at all of the evidence together, it’s an extraordinarily clear picture that the pandemic started at the Huanan market,” said Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who co-authored both studies. The studies have yet to be published in a scientific journal. Researchers analyzed data from a variety of sources to seek clues to how the pandemic began. They concluded the SARS-CoV-2 virus was present in live mammals sold at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in late 2019.
