US Investigates
Possibility That COVID-19
Originated in a Chinese Lab According to CNN, the U.S. government
is looking into whether the coronavirus started
in a Chinese laboratory instead of a market. The speculation is that the virus originated in a laboratory in
Wuhan, China, and was accidentally released to the public. U.S. intelligence officials have not yet been able to
prove the theory but are continuing the investigation,
sources have told CNN. Some intelligence officials say it is possible the
actual origin of the virus may never be known. Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Mark Milley
acknowledged that the U.S. is taking
"a hard look" at the coronavirus origin theory. President Trump told reporters on Wednesday that
the government is "doing a very thorough examination
of this horrible situation that happened." Zhao Lijian, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman,
has continued to deny the lab theory, according to CNN. Zhao Lijian,
