I believe that Covid was started in all of the dirty towns of China. I think that because of the unsanitary conditions. Bacteria could have easily collected there, creating this contagious virus. Because it is a frequent place of visitation, it easily spread to mass quantities of people, who did not quarantine themselves. It then spread to America from trade. Because there is much a large trade between the US and China, it was perfect for the virus to spread.
