More than two years into the pandemic, it’s still unclear where the virus came from. Why is it so difficult to know the history of its origin and why are studies important?This is a five-part podcast series on how to find answers to those questions. .
Hosted by investigative reporter Antonio Regalado, Curious Coincidence dives into the mysterious origins of Covid-19 by examining China’s trade in wild animals, the labs doing sensitive research on dangerous pathogens, and questions of whether a lab accident may have touched off a global pandemic.
Why we need to find the truth, and the “curious coincidence” that set off a battle over Covid-19’s origin.
An organization of self-proclaimed online researchers took a close look at a Chinese lab. Their conclusions deepen doubts.
Lab injuries have caused epidemics before, and injuries aren’t as unusual and secretive as you might think.
Scientists zero in on a market in the city of Wuhan as the place the pandemic started. But information on China’s wild-animal trade is hard to uncover.
Is it too harmful to have a certain wisdom? Covid-19 has put the spotlight on the most advanced studies on pandemic germs.
