Hyderabad: The Covid-19 lockdown had affected crores of people, with no salary or reduced salary.

A perusal of affidavits filed by politicians contesting the Lok Sabha elections show that their income was not affected by the pandemic. In fact, it significantly grew between 2019-20 and 2022-23, the Covid years. The total income shown by M.

Covid-19: Did coronavirus spread through a leak in the laboratory? Experts raised questions regarding the origin of Corona

The Corona pandemic has been a serious health risk globally for more than four years. Cases of novel coronavirus were first reported in China in December 2019 and over time it spread across the world. According to Worldometer data, till now coronavirus has made more than 70.42 crore people its victims, and more than 70 lakh people have died due to this virus infection. Vaccination and herd immunity have reduced the risks of this virus and the serious problems it causes, but mutated variants still pose a threat. Since the beginning of the Corona epidemic, the big question has been how did coronavirus come, is it man-made? In a recent study related to this, a team of scientists has made a big claim. In the report of the study, the team of researchers said, the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be more unnatural than natural. It is possible that this could be a virus spread due to leakage from the laboratory. This claim of scientists has once again heated the discussion market regarding the origin of Corona. Help taken from the MGFT tool To find out how coronavirus spread, the team of researchers took the help of the Grunow-Finke Tool (MGFT), in which an attempt was made to find out whether it was an epidemic or something like a biological attack. MGFT devices have been used in the past to trace the sources of viruses. For this study, the team of researchers collected data based on several parameters. What do the researchers say? Researchers from the University of New South Wales, Australia, studied the data based on data obtained from public sources and case histories. The study combined data with traditional virology, epidemiology, and medical factors, the authors wrote in their study. The debate about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 has largely focused on medical evidence, which is important for identifying unnatural epidemics. (PC: iStock)
