According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray, an event in a laboratory in Wuhan, China most probably produced the COVID19 epidemic. He stated that the FBI has concluded that the roots of the pandemic are most likely a probable lab mishap in Wuhan.
The remarks follow a study published earlier this week that stated the US Department of Energy had assessed that the COVID-19 outbreak was most likely caused by a leak from a Chinese laboratory.
He also stated that China was attempting to obstruct US attempts to find the origins of the outbreak and they are trying to obstruct and distort the work here, the work that the U.S. government and close international allies are doing to find COVID-19 origin.
To better combat or possibly avoid the next pandemic in the world, the scientific community believes that understanding the causes of the current one is essential.
