Whatever your thoughts on the origin of Covid, all theories point to the same solution
Conclusions from the highly anticipated World Health Organisation report on the origin of Covid-19 have been revealed, pointing to exotic animals farmed for trade as the most likely source of the virus, while a chorus of detractors continue pushing the theory that the real leak may have been from a Chinese lab.

Whether Covid-19 sprang from a lab bat, a combo of a wild bat and farmed mink or trafficked pangolin, or whatever — the two common factors that cut across each theory are one, people tinkering with wild habitats and two, commercial trade in wild animals. But most importantly: the WHO’s and China’s findings imply that a virus like Covid-19 could be brewing anywhere in the world where commercial trade in wild animals or destruction of wild habitats persist.
