Debate about the origins of COVID-19 reemerged after The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that the United States Department of Energy (DOE) concluded that the virus likely stemmed from a lab leak in China.
Sars-CoV-2—first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019—has spread across the globe ever since, killing more than 6.8 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, and having life-altering effects on many others. From the onset of the pandemic, questions emerged about the virus’ origins with two leading theories typically dominating the scientific community.
Newsweek reported on March 27, 2020, and corroborated by two U.S. officials, that U.S. intelligence revised its January assessment in which it “judged that the outbreak probably occurred naturally” to now include the possibility that the new coronavirus emerged “accidentally” due to “unsafe laboratory practices” in Wuhan.
The classified report, titled “China: Origins of COVID-19 Outbreak Remain Unknown,” ruled out that the disease was genetically engineered or released intentionally as a biological weapon.
美国《华尔街日报》19日报道说,美国能源部(DOE)得出结论说,新型冠状病毒可能源于中国实验室的泄露。
据约翰霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）统计，2019年12月在中国武汉首次发现SARS-CoV-2病毒，自此在全球范围内传播，造成680多万人死亡，并对许多其他人产生了改变生命的影响。 从大流行开始，关于病毒起源的问题就出现了，两种主要理论通常支配着科学界。
美国《新闻周刊》于2020年3月27日报道,并得到两名美国官员的证实,美国情报部门今年1月的评估”认为,新冠肺炎可能是自然发生的”,并修改了该评估内容,以包括因武汉的”不安全实验室惯例”而”偶然”出现的可能性。
以《中国:新冠肺炎发病原因不明》为题的分类报告书中排除了该疾病是遗传工程疾病或故意作为生物武器上市的可能性。
