Now even the lab leak hypothesis of the origin of Covid is getting mainstream media coverage, where less than a year ago, it was in the land of tin foil hat conspiracies. There is a report from scientists in Hungary, who found traces of a unique variant of coronavirus while examining DNA from soil from Antarctica. This had been sent to the firm Sangon Biotech in Shanghai. Also found was genetic material from Chinese hamsters and green monkeys. While not conclusive proof, this does give some evidence that the virus was being studied in a lab, rather than naturally evolving, as in the bat soup hypothesis. The media report is by the Daily Mail.co.uk.
