When the virus first started, rumors and theories raced around the globe about this new illness affecting certain areas of China. New ideas stormed everywhere regarding the cause of the virus. Many believed that it started in a market serving animals like bats. Others believe it escaped from a laboratory. Overtime not much has changed since the beginning of the virus and I am still unsure on what I think the true cause of the virus is, I think it is entirely possible that it could have come from a laboratory studying something close.
