I believe that Covid was caused by some sort of bacteria in one the animals in the meat markets in Wuhan, China. I believe this because the CDC has released a statement saying that this is true. I trust them because they have the biggest and most trusted disease control center in the world. Also, it makes sense logically because these markets were not very sanitary and many diseases can come from animals, especially dead animals. Out of all of the theories I’ve heard, this one not only makes the most sense but also has the most evidence out of all the other theories. Many people believe the animal was a bat, but that has not been confirmed.
