Virologist and coauthor of an ASM commentary on SARS-CoV-2 origins and lab-leak claims
Further, high density commercial farming of animals (e.g., chickens, pigs, cattle) in the US and abroad also poses a major pandemic threat, as evidenced by the avian H5N1 influenza virus that is now spreading through dairy cows and other mammals with some transmission to humans. These wider dynamics underpin why our societal understanding about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 matters.
