There have been so many reports about where exactly did the novel comes from. Some reports stated that coronavirus seems like a bioweapon designed to frustrate China. The fact that we have witnessed two similar coronaviruses that came from wild bats in the last two decades is enough to say the new coronavirus is not manmade.
Other reports stated that the new coronavirus might have leaked from a Chinese laboratory accidentally. While this could be true, this has been no evidence to support it. However, most scientists believe that the origin of the new coronavirus might be from wild bats since the new coronavirus is similar to both SARS and Mers. Coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, Chan.
Since then, thousands of people in that city have contracted the disease, and a total number of 127,147 deaths have been recorded as of 15th April, 2020. Currently, coronavirus is a global pandemic as it now in different countries of the world.
