Covid could have natural origins

In these days, experts are urged to find out the origins of Covid-19 before another deadly catastrophic outbreak.

Based on the reports in local and national dailies that Covid-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology while experimenting; China was blamed for the spread of the virus causing deaths and destruction throughout the world. Likely, there is no definitive conclusion to hold China accountable.

It is likely presumable that it is a naturally originated disease which had formed in the bad environment and in times will vanish through the clear environment.
