Sky News recently reported that top US infection disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci has admitted that he funded 'bat-human interface' research in China.

He says it is 'entirely conceivable' that the origins of Sars-Cov-2 was in the cave and either started spreading naturally or went through a lab.

Citing a US intelligence report, the WSJ had reported that a trio from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were affected as early as November 2019, suffering from 'symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness'.

It says chances that Covid-19 emerged in Wuhan because of imported frozen food – one of the main theories China has embraced – are 'very low'.

The report said that highly similar viruses have been found in pangolins, and noted that mink and cats are susceptible to the Covid virus and could be carriers.
