The coronavirus outbreak made its way across the globe due to a 'perfect storm' of conditions and almost didn't happen, a new study has found. It comes after the theory that Covid-19 was leaked from a Wuhan lab was abandoned by WHO experts investigating the origins of the pandemic this week. Mr Worobey said the market in Wuhan was the place where virus began to spread and most probably amplified rather than the birth place of Covid-19. 'After their field visits and study, the experts team agreed unanimously that it is extremely unlikely that the virus leaked from the lab,' Mr Liang said. But China has always denied these suggestions, and has sought to sow doubt about whether the virus originated in Wuhan at all.
