    Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the origins of the virus remain shrouded in mystery. Most scientists believe the virus jumped from bats to humans, either directly or through another animal. Others theorize it escaped from a lab.http://apne.ws/cq2MZmd

        As the global death toll from the virus surpasses 5.2 million, a growing number of scientists are trying to keep the focus on the more plausible animal-to-human theory. They hope what’s learned will help fend off future viruses and variants. http://apne.ws/hw6Uxxd pic.twitter.com/rSukRxS5pF

        Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona evolutionary biologist, first signed a letter saying both theories were viable. But he said he was always more supportive of the animal hypothesis, and his own and others' research has made him even more confident.http://apne.ws/dPWcqJR

        Many researchers believe wild animals were intermediate hosts for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, meaning they were infected with a bat coronavirus that evolved — and then was transmitted to humans. http://apne.ws/KvN6HIa pic.twitter.com/I4BhljWahR

        Experts worry that the same sort of animal-to-human transmission of viruses could worsen this pandemic or spark new ones. Failing to fully investigate the animal origins, scientists wrote in the journal Cell, would “leave the world vulnerable.” http://apne.ws/r58fYhR pic.twitter.com/opUTEV3Dh8

        Another fear is that the virus could incubate in animals and then unleash new variants. “We’re probably not going to do a big giraffe immunization program any time soon," said David O’Connor, a virology expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.http://apne.ws/IG5MSYM

        The World Health Organization has formed an advisory group to look into the pandemic’s origins. But further investigation has been stymied by tensions between the U.S. and China. For more @AP coverage of the coronavirus pandemic:http://apne.ws/4S0M04V
