A new report published Sunday has an eyebrow raising claim being made about the Coronavirus. Per the report, it is now being circulated that the virus may have arrived at the now infamous wet market in Wuhan from an already infected person.

“The publicly available genetic data does not point to cross-species transmission of the virus at the market,” said Alina Chan, a molecular biologist, and Shing Zhan, an evolutionary biologist, the Mail on Sunday reported.
The report claims that by the time the virus arrived at the now infamous wet-market, it had already become pre-adapted to several types of human transmissions.
“The possibility that a non-genetically engineered precursor could have adapted to humans while being studied in a laboratory should be considered,” the paper said.
The paper contradicts previous reports that the virus originated from the wet market itself and the n eventually was transferred to humans. All of this comes amid growing criticism that the ruling Communist Party of China played an integral role in the evolution of the killer virus, but never mentioned it to their western counterparts in an effort to stop it.
