* At a press conference on Feb. 9, the WHO-led team said Covid “most likely” originated in animals before spreading to humans.
* They dismissed a theory that the disease had been leaked by the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Daszak, who is also president of New York-based non-profit EcoHealth Alliance, said it should be possible for collective scientific data to accurately work out how animals with the coronavirus infected the first people in Wuhan, China in Dec. 2019.
He said the wildlife trade was the most likely explanation of how Covid arrived in China, saying this hypothesis was “strongly supported” both from the WHO’s perspective and scientists in China.
“There was a conduit from Wuhan to the provinces in south China, where the closest relative viruses to (Covid) are found in bats,” Daszak said, describing this discovery as “a really important clue.”

At least Peter Daszak and Thea Fischer got per diem. That is important! Additionally, they engaged in process. There is no product and it is a shame, but process is the important thing. They looked concern and they wrung their hands. Gotta give'em a 10 for style!
