COVID 19: Beginning Impressions

When I first heard about Covid 19, I heard many... "interesting" theories on how it first came to be. These ranged from secret labs on the other side of the world to aliens from outer space. Of course, I didn't really believe most of these, but then again, I didn't know what believe. Since then, I haven't really put a lot of thought into the origin of the virus, because I've been more focused on avoiding the sickness itself. As of now, I believe what the majority of medical experts are saying, which is that it most likely started in animals such as bats or pangolins. However, after this assignment, I think I will keep tabs on what is being said about COVID-19's beginning from now on.
