Coronavirus made in Wuhan lab, claims Chinese virologist

A Chinese virologist has claimed that the novel coronavirus was made in a government controlled laboratory in Wuhan and asserted that she has scientific proof to back the claim, the Hindustan Times has reported. The virologist, Dr Li-Meng Yan is a whistle-blower against the Chinese government over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. She was in December last year tasked with looking into a cluster of Sars-like cases coming out of mainland China. Dr Li-Meng was allegedly forced to flee to the United States over safety concerns. Appearing on a British talk show, the top scientist claimed that she discovered a cover-up operation during her investigation and said that the Chinese government knew about the spread of the virus before publicly acknowledging it.
