(I need to rant)
That is true currently... but
Viruses mutate/change like crazy - because they are so tiny, and replicate very very quickly... they make lots of tiny genetic errors. Most errors do nothing or actually harm the virus. Some errors cause bad human outcomes.
They are not even 'alive' - they don't eat, don't 'burn energy' - don't mate.
They just replicate.
More of a 'partial chemical reaction' that for whatever reason does not die off... it just sits and wait for some reaction to occur.
Of course, a killer virus can be natural OR man made....
One process they use to make deadly viruses 'attack humans' is they run the virus through a long chain of ferrets... one group of ferrets - then the next - then the next...
Ferrets and humans share the ACE2 receptors on our cell membranes. This is the receptor that the SARS COV-2 Spike Protein is attracted too - making this virus a Human Pathogen.
For this reason - I believe Covid came from a lab AND NOT FROM NATURE.
Natural Virus mutations have TONS OF PREVIOUS GENERATION Viruses that you can find... SARS COV-1a, SARS COV-1b, SARS COV 1c etc... Biologists would be finding these viruses all over the place in natural habitats of the Intermediate Horseshoe Bat....
But they aren't.... because there are no 'natural' precursors to SARS COV -2 ...
This is how fast the current COVID virus is changing....
https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global?c=country_exposure
But when you go back before Dec 2019.... they can't find anything similar... anywhere.
It is as if the virus mutated 13% of its genome on one night.... and SARS COV became SARS COV -2 'overnight'
That can't happen!!!
