There are three hypotheses proposed by the WHO for the spread of COVID-19.

1. The intermediary host hypothesis — This states that COVID-19 spread from an infected animal. Most likely horseshoe bats or through an intermediary animal like a pangolin.
2. An indirect transmission through contaminated frozen food.
3. The lab origin hypothesis. The virus escaped from a bio-level 4 laboratory. The release was a lab accident.

The WHO is now focused only on the intermediary host hypothesis and have disregarded the lab hypothesis. Let’s look at evidence so far for the three possibilities.

The Host Hypothesis

The first known outbreak occurred in and around a Wuhan seafood market. According to the WHO there was contamination of the market with SARS-COV-2. From the samples they obtained, some were genetically the same but others had variations in mutations suggesting it was also spreading in other areas outside the market area as well. Given where the contamination was found they do not know if it was from people, animals in the market or frozen food. The type of bat in question is often hibernating at that time of year. Only some of the early infections can be traced to the seafood market. Chinese researchers have surveyed 11,000 animals looking for…
