Episode Synopsis


Did COVID escape from a lab? Was it natural evolution? How did it happen? These are all very big questions that scientists have been working on answering ever since SARS-CoV-2 arrived in our lives in late 2019.Now, the release of two (still to be peer reviewed) articles have outlined more evidence that COVID didn't escape a lab, and instead evolved naturally in animals before jumping to humans.And on today's Coronacast, they may have even found the very cage in the Wuhan market where COVID made the jump.GUEST:Professor Eddie Holmes, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney
