As you've probably heard, Covid is sweeping through the whole world. As of right now, no one really knows how it started. I've heard that it's started from a bat, someone ate a bat in China and that's how it started. That's the first reason I heard, the second was that labratories might have created a virus, this virus. At the time, I only heard about the bat, so that's what I believed. I think that my opinions have changed, but I don't nessciarly agree with both, it could've been other things. Many people have been trying to figure out the exact answer. At this point, I do believe that someone does know, but most of the population doesn't. In the future, I predict that, hopefully, we will find out.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
