SARS conspiracy theory, What do you think?

[KungFuLee]

I don't know about your conspiracy theories but here is mine I have not seen a virus mutate this quick and the out breaks of this virus are never linked to previous one which means there is always a new source for this virus to emerge and that is not natural.

Actually, both nCoV( or Wuhan Virus) and SARS are both link to Human coronavirus 229E, which is the virus that caused common cold, it is believed that somehow the cold virus somehow got mutate in the bat population and some how got transmitted into human.

It is estimated that there are 200 new variation/mutation of cold virus every year. Considering the 229E virus was discovered in the 1960s, there should be around millions mutation since then. And consider only 3 of them SARS, MERS and nCoV (so far we know) cause these epic problem, we are very lucky...

What about the second part of source?

There has been 830 confirmed cases and if you have so many cases it becomes very easy to identify source. Now there is no clue to locate the source so that means the source is humans. Jumping with in humans is not a charter of this virus this mutation is artificial.

Here is a list of all countries that are effected.

So demographics suggest that virus is focused on certain area and these are just known cases means it transmitting from humans.

They are from medical journal when I do my thesis on statistical analysis in university.

You may need to pay for it though?

Also, 830 case is not very big (It may seems a lot) to trace the origin. The 2014 Ebola Outbreak have its origin found approximately 3 (or 4, depends on which event you believe) months before it can trace to its origin, by then 5000 + people had already infected and hundred were already dead.

So demographics suggest that virus is focused on certain area and these are just known cases means it transmitting from humans.

the demographic only represent its relationship to ground zero. I mean if an outbreak is happening in Asia, then the case rate is usually around Asia in majority.

It is the same as Ebola outbreak in Africa, the majority of affected area are in Africa, while other country outside Africa continent are simply secondary infection (by people-people transmission instead of primary infection)
