In response to Trump, China suggests that Covid-19 originated in the US

The Asian country also accused the US of politicizing the issue of the origins of COVID-19. He cited a lawsuit in Missouri that resulted in a decision of $ 24 billion (R $ 135.5 billion, in direct conversion) against China for accumulating protective medical equipment and covering up the outbreak.

USA updated website on April 18

The White House website said the virus that causes Covid-19 spread around the world after an “incident”. “A laboratory incident is probably the origin of COVID-19,” says the site, which was updated on April 18, in an article entitled “Lab Labbish (Lab Leak)-the truth about the origins of COVID-19”.

The page still accuses the previous management for “hiding” the truth. The text states that the Administration Joe Biden favored a narrative that would please the Democratic voter, who would reject the theory that the virus leaked from a Wuhan laboratory, the Chinese region considered the epicenter of the pandemic.

This version was discarded by WHO (World Health Organization) in 2021. The main studies on the origin of the virus argue that it went from an animal to humans, probably after consumption, from a municipal market of Wuhan, capital and largest city in the province of Hubei.
